Today’s match between Columbus and Charlotte will be between two closely-ranked teams in the Eastern Conference. It is looking like a high-scoring game that may end in a draw, as their recent records show how they can swing to the extreme.
Both clubs have players who score easily, and their scoring history is a key factor. The Crew has fantastic performances at home, while Charlotte struggles to match. Additionally, they haven’t scored above one goal when playing on the road. Which is why experts predict a home win.
