Columbus Crew vs Nashville Betting Tips: COLUMBUS TO WIN

Columbus start this contest as the most in-form side in the MLS Eastern Conference, as they can proudly boast that they have found themselves on the winning side in all but one of their previous six league games, stumbling only once to a solitary defeat.

Since that setback in June 20 - narrowly losing 1-2 to Beckham's Inter Miami - Wilfried Nancy's squad has delivered two free-scoring displays, thrashing Sporting Kansas City 4-0 before putting five stars next to New England Revolution.

The last pair of their outings mirror that championship-winning squad from last campaign, which overcome all obstacles in the playoffs to lift the MLS trophy for the third time in their history by defeating Los Angeles FC in the grand finale.

Just when they seemed to have caught a good rhythm and found stability in results, recording back-to-back successes for the first time this term over Toronto FC (2-1) and New York City (1-0), Nashville were handed a reset by Eastern leaders Inter Miami, losing 1-2 at home.

That stumble, which is only their second in the previous nine MLS outings, hasn't dented the Coyotes' position on the table, but they need to swiftly regroup to avoid slipping further, with just a single point keeping them ahead of Toronto FC in eighth place.

Interim coach Rumba Munthali has grounds for optimism ahead of Thursday's demanding test, having overseen his side sharpy step up their road form in recent times, going through four consecutive away fixtures without a loss (W2 D2).

While they have often troubled the reigning MLS champions in previous meetings, Nashville were dealt a 0-2 loss on their last visit to Lower.come Field. With the Coyotes showing a sudden surge in road form, this will prove to be a daunting challenge, but we remain confident that Columbus will manage to come out on top in what promises to be a closely-fought contest.
