Nashville SC vs Columbus Crew Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | MLS 2025

The previous meeting between the two teams ended on level terms.

Nashville SC are all set to host Columbus Crew in the round 23 match of the Major League Soccer 2025 season. The intense contest between the two Eastern Conference teams will take place at the GEODIS Park.

Nashville SC have been on a positive run this season, but they dropped three points in their last games when they fell prey to Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami. This ended their 15-match unbeaten run. The Coyotes will take on the Crew for their next MLS match, and it is not going to be an easy fixture.

The visitors are coming in after securing a dominating win against FC Cincinnati. The Crew staged an amazing comeback from two goals down to win the game 4-2. Despite being away from home, Columbus Crew will not feel under pressure.

A win can take them to the top of the table, but the hosts are going to put up a tough fight as well.

Players to Watch

Sam Surridge (Nashville SC)

Sam Surridge failed to put his name on the scoresheet against Inter Miami. He remains the top goal-getter for Nashville SC in the MLS this season. Surridge will be looking to step up and score a goal or two against the Crew so that he can help his side on the attacking front.

He is going to play a vital role in the final third.

Diego Rossi (Columbus Crew)

Diego Rossi continues his goal-scoring run for the Columbus Crew. He scored an important goal for his side in the last Major League Soccer outing. Rossi is going to trouble the opponent’s defence in the upcoming match as well.

He has scored 11 goals and has five assists to his name in the ongoing campaign of the MLS.
