Columbus Crew come into this game on a strong run of form, having lost just once in their last nine matches across all competitions. They secured a 2-1 win over San Jose Earthquakes last time out, with Sean Zawadski and Maximilian Arfsten getting on the scoresheet.
The Crew currently sit second in the Eastern Conference and could go top with a win. They’ve looked solid both home and away and will be confident playing in front of their fans, especially given their attacking rhythm in recent games.
Betting On Charlotte
- 1XBet Spread: +0.5
- 1XBet Moneyline: 4.10
- 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5
Charlotte dropped to fourth place after a 1-0 home defeat to New England Revolution, ending their three-game winning streak. While they’ve shown signs of improvement this season, consistency has been a challenge, especially on the road.
They did win their most recent away game, but had gone three without a win before that. Charlotte will be wary of Columbus’s form but should still pose a threat going forward.
MatchPlug Prediction Columbus Crew VS Charlotte
Columbus Crew have been one of the most consistent sides in the East and have home advantage here. While Charlotte have improved, they’ve struggled for sustained results away from home.
Expect both teams to get on the scoresheet, but the Crew’s form and attacking edge should see them secure all three points.
Final Prediction: Columbus Crew
