Nashville SC's last season was generally positive, especially after winning the first title in the young franchise's history, the US Open Cup, which is allowing them to once again qualify for the Concacaf Champions League.

Inter Miami, the eventual champion, eliminated Nashville in the playoffs of the last MLS season in a memorable series. In the Concacaf Champions League, they have a chance for revenge against the Florida team, and Nashville was able to contain the refined attack of Messi and company, but had to settle for a 0-0 draw.

In MLS 2026, Nashville's start has been remarkable once again, with two victories at Geodis Park: a 4-1 win against New England and a 3-1 win against Minnesota United. They also secured a valuable away draw against FC Dallas.

In contrast, Columbus Crew's start has not been as positive; The historic MLS franchise is placing its trust in Swedish coach Rydstrom, the innovative manager who recently led Malmö to two championships. For now, Columbus Crew's style of play lacks balance, requiring them to string together strong performances in both attack and defense, without neglecting either aspect, as happened in their last three matches.

Our Columbus Crew vs Nashville SC Prediction

Nashville's attractive style of play has many contributors, but it's impossible not to mention the chemistry between English striker Sam Surridge and German midfielder Hany Mukhtar. Surridge has become one of the most clinical finishers in MLS, while Mukhtar has become a superb distributor of the ball.

These two gave Columbus Crew repeated problems when they last met at Geodis Park, with Surridge scoring, but Mukhtar also finding the net. Nashville should be able to avoid defeat in Ohio.

Our prediction for Columbus Crew vs Nashville is: Nashville to win or draw.

Prediction:

 

Nashville to win or draw.
