On Wednesday evening, as the Major League Soccer games continue to come thick and fast, the Columbus Crew will be in action on home soil. They take on Charlotte FC at Lower.com Field. The hosts are big favorites to win this fixture, which is not surprising given that they've won each of their last three at home. However, Wilfried Nancy's men may not have the easiest time against a visiting team that can certainly go to seemingly tough venues and cause disruptions.

Columbus Crew - Charlotte FC Key Points

  2. The visitors have won three of their last four away games.
  3. When the teams met earlier in the season, Charlotte won by two goals to nil.
  4. The visitors have started to make a habit of hurting teams on the road, especially on the break.

Our Columbus Crew vs Charlotte FC Prediction

Looking at the early lines, you'd think that something would have to really go wrong for the Crew to lose this game. However, you'd have thought similar before the Charlotte boys went to TQL Stadium to take on FC Cincinnati at the weekend, but they delivered a devastating counter-offensive performance to walk away with a seemingly unlikely win, scoring three goals in the process. It's not the first time in recent weeks that we've seen Dean Smith's men defend well away from home, before being deadly on the break. We know that the Crew are strong at home, but they will absolutely push forward and leave spaces here, so it's far from difficult to see the visitors enjoying themselves in transition, which means, as far as I'm concerned, it's a little easier to see a positive result for the travelling team than the early lines suggest it should be. In other words, betting on the in-form and confident visitors to avoid defeat here stands out as a value play at the early odds. Our Prediction: Charlotte FC +1 Handicap.
