Nashville SC v Columbus Crew : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 23rd Aug, 01:30 BST, GEODIS Park, Nashville

Brian Joseph Callaghan II welcomes to the GEODIS Park on Sunday morning, as their Nashville SC and Columbus Crew teams go head to head in the Major League Soccer. In this preview you'll find odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers for seventeen different betting markets, alongside bespoke data that changes as you go through them. Our predictions run off 20-game form, so all statistics are shown for each side's last 20 too. Home vs away and overall performance can be explored, while you'll also find head to head (H2H) history a little further down the page.


Best Tip: Nashville to win

As the stadium fills and the Nashville players ready themselves for this match, the bookmakers have predicted a win for them. The odds and our pre-match statistics below suggest the same, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) information we factor into our predictive algorithms. The GEODIS Park hasn't been a happy hunting ground for for Columbus in the past, and we expect more of the same come Sunday morning. A win / draw / win home win is our tip.
