Columbus Crew team news and form: Nancy must find solutions
Evan Bush is injured and will leave a hole at the back of the Crew’s starting XI. We consider this a plus in favor of our key Columbus Crew vs Seattle Sounders predictions, as Schmetzer will surely try to exploit the fact that Nancy won’t be able to count on his key defender.

Player to watch: Cucho Hernandez
Hernandez’s tremendous goalscoring capabilities were partially the reason why the Crew scooped the Leagues Cup trophy this year. Seeing as he is also the top finisher for his team in Major League Soccer, we believe adding him as the player to watch in our Columbus Crew vs Seattle Sounders prediction is the right call.
Second player to watch: Diego Rossi
Rossi is performing equally well this season. He doesn’t have Hernandez’s goalscoring record but he is the top creator on the team, with eight assists since the start of the campaign.
