    Nashville SC has been one of the best teams in Major League Soccer over the past month. But does it have what it takes to beat one of the best teams in MLS over the past three years? Nashville (8-4-3, 27 points) takes on the Columbus Crew (7-2-6, 27 points) at Lower.com field in Columbus on May 28 (7 p.m. CT, FS1). While Nashville and Columbus are tied on points, NSC sits third in the Eastern Conference, two spots ahead of the Crew, based on goal differential.
