Columbus Crew will host Nashville at the Lower.com Field on Wednesday in another round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The home side have hit a rough patch in recent games after a bright start to their season and have now dropped down to fifth place in the Western Conference with 27 points from 15 matches.
They were beaten 3-2 by Charlotte in their last match, with efforts from Ibrahim Aliyu and Malte Amundsen ultimately counting as consolation goals, as they were repeatedly carved apart by their opponents.
Nashville, on the other hand, have shaken off their slow start to the season and are enjoying a good run of form at the moment. They picked up a narrow but largely deserved 2-1 away win over Toronto with former Nottingham Forest man Sam Surridge scoring a second-half brace before their opponents pulled one back in additional time.
Trending
The visitors, who sit third in the West, are level on points with their midweek opponents and will be looking to pull clear with a win on Wednesday.
