Game Preview
Columbus Crew is the team that won the MLS Cup last year. These guys weren’t too great in the regular season, but once the playoffs started, they really switched up a gear.
Fast-forward to 2024 and they don’t look too great. They started the new season with a 1-0 home win against Atlanta United but then went on to draw 1-1 with Minnesota United on the road in the second round.
Now, they’re coming back home, which is where they’ve always been dominant. At Lower.com Field in Columbus, they’re without a single loss since April last year when Inter Miami beat them.
