Columbus Crew form and stats
As mentioned below, Columbus Crew are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Major League Soccer games. Columbus Crew has recorded two wins in a row here, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
The Columbus manager Porter and his gang return home after a 1-1 draw away versus New York RB (placed 4th). Midfielder Nagbe was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.85 (out of ten) in that game. Nagbe scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 49 successful passes (of 53 total).
Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Toronto.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Columbus Crew have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won eight times, drawn two and lost one.
Columbus Crew has scored 6 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Nashville SC form and stats
1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Nashville SC playing as the away team in the Major League Soccer this season. Nashville SC seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Nashville are travelling again after losing away to Real Salt Lake in their previous match (1-2). Zimmerman was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.13. The defender Zimmerman scored one goal and won 11 of 16 duels.
A 0-2 defeat away at Dallas before that.We have checked recent matches where Nashville SC have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were two victories, four draws and four defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nashville SC as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. Many of these goals have come late in the matches; more than 50 percent (11 goals) after the 60th minute. 5 goals have been conceded by Nashville SC in these games.
