The Columbus Crew and Nashville SC have a short history. The two teams met twice in the expansion side’s first Major League Soccer campaign, once in the regular season and again in the MLS Cup playoffs, both games going to the Crew by a 2-0 scoreline.
Columbus and Nashville meet again, for a third time in Ohio’s capital city, on Wednesday night. The two teams enter the game within two points of each other, the Black & Gold on 20 and Nashville on 22, following 13 games of the season. While there remains plenty of time in the year, the winner of this game will be, at the worst, in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
