Player to watch: Diego Rossi
Currently on fire, Rossi is undoubtedly one of Nancy’s key weapons in the attack. With seven goals to his name in the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign, the 27-year-old attacking midfielder earned the right to be featured as the player to watch in our professional Charlotte vs Columbus Crew prediction.
Can Rossi fill in the Cucho Hernandez-shaped hole?
Moreover, you should also know that Rossi is one of the key creators on the team. The Italian maestro has supplied teammates with two assists. The only Crew players who have more assists than him are Max Arfsten and right-back Steven Moreira.
