Columbus v Nashville

Columbus Crew vs Nashville Preview

Columbus Crew will be seeking to extend their unbeaten run in the MLS to five matches on Saturday evening when they play host to fellow Eastern Conference outfit, Nashville, when the two teams face off at the Lower.com Field with both sides currently sitting in the top seven pack.

Recent wins against Colorado Rapids, Charlotte and Chicago Fire have helped maintain Columbus' push for a place in the Final Series play-offs later in the season and with the former two victories both being achieved on home soil, Columbus will be in confident mood ahead of this weekend's action in the MLS.

Results on home turf have also been pretty impressive as the hosts have lost just once in their nine home games to date with that loss being a 2-1 defeat to Inter Miami but otherwise the hosts have been in sparkling form, picking up six wins in the process.

Three of these six wins have seen Columbus keep a clean sheet while the goals have been flowing at the other end as Columbus have scored 2 goals or more in seven of these nine home games so far this season.

Nashville's impressive sequence of 10 matches without defeat was brought to a halt last time out when they were handed a narrow 1-0 loss away from home at Montreal and the visitors hit the road again for this upcoming trip to Ohio to face a free-scoring Columbus Crew outfit.

Nashville had picked up a total of seven wins within these previous 10-game period but it is worth noting that five of these seven victories were actually picked up on home turf at their GEODIS Park, while results on their travels have been far less convincing where Nashville are concerned.

The visitors have won, drawn and lost three games apiece thus underlining their inconsistent tendencies on the road this season along with failing to score in four of these nine outings, which suggests Nashville could well struggle to keep pace with their prolific goalscoring hosts.

In addition, Nashville have conceded at least once in seven of their nine away games to date in this campaign and this could be another factor in determining the outcome of this clash at the Lower.com Field.

Columbus Crew v Nashville Verdict

Columbus have produced some impressive results on home turf this season and with their goalscoring firepower, the hosts look to be a tough prospect for visitors, Nashville, especially as Columbus Crew have also lost just once in their previous four meetings at home against Nashville, keeping three clean sheets in the process.

Therefore, our main bet will be Columbus Crew win @ 1.95 Other side bets worth considering:
