Nashville will look to continue their impressive run when they face Columbus Crew at Geodis Park in a highly-anticipated Eastern Conference clash. The Yellow-Blacks have found their rhythm at the right time, beating Inter Miami 4-1 before edging New York Red Bulls 1-0 to move closer to securing top spot. Nashville have won 83% of their last 6 home matches, scoring 2.00 goals per game while conceding just 0.67. With no fresh injury concerns, they will be confident of another strong showing on home soil.
Columbus, meanwhile, are struggling for consistency after back-to-back defeats against Charlotte and CF Montreal. Their defensive problems are particularly concerning, with the Crew conceding 1.40 goals per game across their last 10 matches and recording just one clean sheet. Rudy Camacho’s suspension further weakens the back line. Columbus have also failed to win either of their last two away games, making this a difficult trip.
Nashville are in splendid form and have won 83% of their recent home matches. Therefore, Home Win seems like the safest betting option, alongside Nashville Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Nashville average 2.00 goals per home game).
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 23 August 2026 at 01:30.
