The Columbus Crew will play host to CF Montreal on Wednesday at Lower.com Field in an effort to put some distance between themselves and the clubs pursuing them in the postseason race.

In their previous four MLS home games, Columbus has gone undefeated. They are currently sixth in the Eastern Conference, six points behind Montreal, who last played New York City FC to a scoreless draw.

 Tips and Prediction

Over the past few months, Caleb Porter and his team have experienced a tremendous shift as their regular season has unexpectedly improved.

The Crew have scored in nine straight home games since the end of May, catapulting them temporarily into a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

The fact that Columbus has allowed the third-fewest goals (22) in their Conference and has gone three games without conceding at home speaks volumes about their discipline and ability to stay organized at the back.

Due to their lack of inventiveness during much of the season, they needed to play strong defense against the New England Revolution, scoring 0.2 anticipated goals on seven shots on goal.

They have won eight games this season in which they have scored first, proving that they are a difficult club to beat when they get the ball.

The Crew have recently performed well against Canadian opposition, going undefeated in their last five games against their northern neighbors, including a perfect 100% record thus far this year, with a pair of 2-1 victories over Toronto and a 4-0 victory against the Vancouver Whitecaps in their regular-season opener.

Wilfried Nancy said he was encouraged by how his team played in a 0-0 draw at home to the defending MLS Cup champions despite failing to score for the first time in four games. Since they have now let up a goal or fewer in three straight games, his side was as incisive and stubborn defensively as we may have seen all season, failing to allow a single attempt on target against the Eastern Conference team with the most goals scored.

After learning last week that assistant coach Jason Di Tullio had lost his battle with cancer, there was a lot of emotion. Nancy praised his team for their bravery and organization when they faced NYCFC despite the tragedy.

They had 59 percent of the possession during that game against the Pigeons, which they largely controlled, but they only mustered one shot on goal.

Although Montreal has won two of their previous three away games, they have frequently been caught off guard defensively this season, as 22 of their 36 goals allowed have come from away games.

This side has been a challenge to play against throughout the season due to their flexibility in switching players into different positions.

They have largely played it safe on the road, under too much pressure for Nancy’s taste, and have only triumphed once in their previous seven trips to Columbus.

Conclusion

As strong as Montreal’s defense appeared to be in their previous game, one strong performance is insufficient to demonstrate that the team’s defensive problems have been resolved.

They have struggled in that area away from their home field, giving up three or more goals in five road games in all competitions this season.
