Match Preview: Nashville SC vs Columbus Crew

Nashville SC comes into this game with excellent form and momentum, having won four of their last five games, while also having scored in their last seven matches. They are currently unbeaten in their last five games and have won three consecutive home games. Meanwhile, Columbus Crew has struggled recently, having picked up just four points from their last five games and performing poorly on their travels. However, they have scored in their last four games and are likely to find the back of the net against Nashville SC. Overall, we predict an exciting game with both teams scoring. Nashville SC is likely to win the match with a scoreline of 2-1.

After losing to Inter Miami 2-1 in the US Open Cup on Wednesday, the home team is still licking its wounds. They will try to make up for that loss when they play at home against Columbus Crew.
The last time these two teams played, in April 2022 at Lower.com Field, NSC won 1-0 in front of tens of thousands of home fans. Since the hosts are working hard to get to the top, they should do better this time. They are in third place with 25 points, five points behind FC Cincinnati in first place. Columbus, meanwhile, is out of the US Open Cup after losing to Pittsburgh Riverhounds, 1-0, in the USL Championship on Thursday. It was their second loss in a row. On Sunday, they lost 3-2 to Cincinnati in the league at the TQL Stadium.

The Crew are in 12th place with 18 points after 13 games. They have won five, tied three, and lost five. If they beat Nashville on Sunday, they could get into the top ten. But they are not the favourite because the home team has been doing well in the league and has the edge of playing at home.

Walker Zimmerman isn’t sure to play this weekend for Nashville because he hurt his lower body, which could also keep Nick DePuy off the pitch. In their last MLS match, Mukhtar scored twice, Sean Davis got his first assist of the year, Jack Maher led the team in duels won with eight, Teal Bunbury played in his 351st regular-season game of his career, and Joe Willis stopped six shots, giving him 45 saves for the season.

Alex Muyl scored their only goal in their loss in the US Open Cup earlier this week. It was his third goal in all events. Jacob Shaffelburg, Randall Leal, and Luke Haakenson all had three shots, while Josh Bauer had the most saves (4) and interceptions (5). Josh Williams and Milos Degenek are both out with ankle injuries for the Crew. Will Sands, Eloy Room, and Kevin Molino all have knee injuries, and Luis Diaz won’t be able to play because of a sore back. Lucas Zelarayan and Malte Amundsen were the only Columbus players to score in a league game last weekend for the second week in a row. They now have six and two goals, respectively, for the 2023 season.

Aidan Morris and Jacen Russell-Rowe have done well for the Crew after not scoring last year. Morris has scored three goals and Russell-Rowe has scored two in the regular season.
