Columbus Crew SC face another grueling stretch with three games in eight days starting with a trip to face D.C. United. Desperately out of form, the Black & Gold are looking to avoid losing five straight games for the first time since the 2000 season.
The Crew offense remains mired in an extreme slump. They have scored eight goals over 10 games. Their last goal came against Portland on April 20, a scoreless streak that extends to 201 minutes. The Black & Gold have been outscored 7-1 during the streak when the offense evaporated and the defense regressed.
