Sunday afternoon will feature the top two teams in the MLS Next Pro’s Eastern Conference at Lower.com Field. Columbus Crew 2 currently sit at the top of the East, eight points above this week’s opponent New York City FC II. The Black & Gold come into this game following a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Philadelphia Union II last weekend after Stefan Stojanovic scored a wonder goal in stoppage time.
Sunday’s match will provide Crew 2 a rare opportunity this year to bounce back from a defeat. The Black & Gold have lost just three times this season, none coming in back-to-back fashion.
