Preview
Columbus Crew head into this after a 2-1 win over Atalanta United in their previous MLS clash before the international break.
This was their first win after 3 winless matches and would look to get into a run of positive results.
Mensah and Hurtado scored for the visitors to ensure this important victory, as Columbus jumped to 10th place in the table with 16 points.
On the other hand, Charlotte got back to winning ways earlier last week with a 2-0 win over NY Red Bulls.
Bender and Jones’ strikes in either half ensured the victory after successive defeats across competitions. Charlotte is in 7th place on the league table despite an erratic run of results with 19 points from 15 matches in the Eastern Division.
However, Charlotte is the worst performing team in the table in away matches having yet to taste success in any away ground.
They have lost 6 and drawn just 1 of their 7 away games this season.

Prediction: Columbus 1-1 Charlotte
Recent results for either side does not make for good reading as neither team has shown consistency and promise.
Charlotte is higher in the points table but with just 2 victories in their last 5 do not show much promise.
We expect a stalemate here as Columbus also have been sailing in a similar boat and could step up knowing the inconsistency in the opposition camp.
