We said: Nashville SC 1-0 Columbus Crew

The Boys in Gold are so organised and well-balanced defensively that even without an international centre-back like Zimmerman, they look equally sharp and resolute. Columbus have their share of quality and creativity, but given the form of Mukhtar and how intelligent Nashville are along the back end, we expect them to hold the Crew in check this weekend.
