Player to watch: Cucho Hernandez
We feature Cucho Hernandez as the player to watch in our Columbus Crew vs Nashville prediction, as he was close to stealing the Top Goalscorer Award underneath Bouanga in the last possible moment. Sure, his current display isn’t as convincing but we are sure he will be right up there with the top finishers at the end of the season.
Second player to watch: Walker Zimmerman
If Walker Zimmerman can put on a show for the fans, perhaps Cucho Hernandez could be stopped. Walker is by far the most important defender for Nashville, and we can’t wait to see him perform on the 4th of July.
