The Columbus Crew are gearing up to potentially extend their winning streak as they prepare to face Charlotte FC this coming Wednesday at Lower.com Field. As reported by SportsMole, the Crew are riding high on a wave of victories, having notched five consecutive wins with a staggering combined score of 20-2. This impressive performance has put them in the enviable position of being the Eastern Conference's second-highest scorers, accumulating 42 points from 21 matches.
With stakes high, Columbus Crew -1.5 is a glaring bet, as per SportsGambler, with odds tipping them to decisively win by at least two goals over Charlotte FC. On the statistics front, the Crew have dominated the field with 9 wins in their last 10 league games, and they're seemingly slated to continue to overwhelmingly dominate possession, averaging just shy of 60% in their recent matches, with their key players Juan Hernandez and Diego Rossi leading in goals scored.
Conversely, Charlotte FC are not to be discounted, as they seek to secure a second consecutive victory following their win over Cincinnati. As mentioned by EasyOdds, the team has collected 35 points in 23 matches and currently ranks number 6 before their upcoming match. Charlotte FC has shown resilience on the road, with a commendable track record of four wins in their last six away games in the Major League Soccer.
The Crew certainly have a score to settle after Charlotte dealt them a 2-0 blow in their latest meeting. Yet the odds appear to lean towards the home side taking revenge for this recent setback. With Columbus boasting a robust front line that has been able to consistently hit the back of the net, averaging 3.2 goals per game, they seem positioned not just to win, but to potentially deliver a humbling experience to Charlotte FC, as their opponents have managed a respectable yet lower average of 1.3 goals in their past ten outings.
