Hany Mukhtar to Score Anytime
If Nashville wins on the 29th of May, coach Gary Smith will undoubtedly owe a debt of gratitude to his sensational attacking midfielder. Hany Mukhtar pulled his team from the mud last week after a lovely brace versus Charlotte. He’ll be a leading reason behind the success of our Nashville vs Columbus Crew predictions as he knows how to perform when it matters most.
With eight goals and five assists since the start of the season, he’s not only the best scorer and creator at coach Gary Smith’s disposal but also one of the best in MLS in general.
Nashville to Win
Hany Mukhtar may be responsible for 70.0% of Nashville’s goals in the 2023 MLS campaign but our Nashville vs Columbus Crew predictions are also backed up by the defensive class that coach Gary Smith’s boys have. They conceded only nine goals so far and remain the only team to not concede double digits.
Nashville have lost only one game against Columbus Crew – the first-ever match on the 20th of September, 2020. They’ll hardly lose now when everything is going so well for them.

Nashville vs Columbus Crew Lineups & Team News
Nashville
Yet another master-class display by Hany Mukhtar was the difference for Nashville last week when the team collided with Charlotte. The game at the Bank of America Stadium ended with a thrifty 1-2 win for Nashville in a game that could’ve easily gone either way. Thankfully, a 93rd-minute stunner brought home the three points for Nashville.
Predicted lineup – Willis (GK), Moore, MacNaughton, Maher, Lovitz, Muyl, Godoy, Davis, Picault, Bunbury & Mukhtar
Columbus Crew
Funny, but the Crew actually have the 2nd-best attacking tally in the Western Conference. Coach Wilfried Nancy’s boys bagged 25 goals since the start of the campaign. The only team to score more is Atlanta United. However, this doesn’t concern our Nashville vs Columbus Crew predictions too much as the Crew is in the 8th spot which speaks volumes about their defensive display.
Predicted lineup – Schulte (GK), Vallecilla, Moreira, Quinton, Amundsen, Morris, Nagbe, Farsi, Matan, Zelarayan & Hernandez

Player to Watch: Shaq Moore
We don’t argue that Walker Zimmerman is the key player at the back for coach Gary Smith. He is. However, Shaq Moore’s contribution this season has been remarkable as well.
Not only is the right-back a rock at the back but he’s also a deadly force on the wing. With three assists this season, he’s trailing by one to playmaker-in-chief Hany Mukhtar who supplied his compadres with four cut-throat passes.
As long as Moore is on the pitch, we have faith in our Nashville vs Columbus Crew predictions. And we’re sure Gary Smith will rely on him in the starting XI.
