The San Jose Earthquakes venture to take on Columbus Crew SC after a week-long stay on the East coast following a rut of no wins since the first week of the season. Crew SC has played more games, eight in total, to San Jose’s six but have just one point in the last four matches.
With both teams in a slump, this match presents an interesting dynamic. Will the managers choose to keep things the same, in hopes that a few goals will get their attackers roaring and a win will gain some confidence?
