Wil Trapp calls it a “must win”. Columbus is on the edge of the playoff picture and need wins to try and make an improbable run. The Crew need a win in Hell is Real Part 2 against FC Cincinnati on Sunday night. The Crew are facing the worst team in the league, but it’s a team they have yet to beat. FCC won 1-0 in a 2017 Open Cup match and the game two weeks ago ended in a tie.
Columbus is coming out with a full strength lineup needing all three points. Gyasi Zardes comes back into the lineup, as does the rest of the attack that was rested on Wednesday night.
