Charlotte FC vs Columbus Crew Prediction & Betting Tips - Major League Soccer
by Kennedy Kechula | in Major League Soccer Prediction
At Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium, on Match Day 5, on Saturday, Charlotte will play host to MLS champions Columbus Crew. By virtue of an inferior goal difference, Columbus Crew are second in the Eastern Conference table while Charlotte are 11th. The hosts take into this game a shaky start to the season, which has them on four points after as many matches. Charlotte, who opened their league campaign with a win, have regressed in their last three matches. They have a draw and two straight defeats coming into this game. Their last outing ended in a 2-1 loss away to Nashville. Brecht Dejaegere’s goal at the stroke of halftime proved to be a mere consolation for Charlotte. They haven't had a great scoring run so far, with three goals in four opening league matches. After their opening game of the season, Charlotte played three straight away matches. They will be glad to return home in this game, having done well in previous league games there. In their last 10 home league matches, Charlotte haven't lost. They’ve actually registered three straight home wins coming into this game. Seven of their last 11 home league matches have however failed to return wins.
Columbus Crew are looking to defend their MLS title and so far all is good. Only goal difference is keeping them second, but with a game in hand they can stay positive. A win here, coupled with Inter Miami dropping points at New York RB would see Columbus go top. In their last meeting they beat Charlotte 4-2 and, in their form, coming here, they’ll be very confident. Columbus Crew head into this game on the back of a 3-0 win over New York RB. Goals from Juan Hernandez, Jacen Russell-Rowe and Aidan Morris handed them their biggest win of the season. Columbus Crew have balanced their assignments in the league and CONCACAF Champions Cup well. So far, they’ve played six in total, are unbeaten and won four of them. In their last eight away league matches, dating back to last season, Columbus are unbeaten. This will be only their second away game of the league. The first ended 1-1 with Minnesota United.
