The Columbus Crew is looking to find its form in the 2021 Major League Soccer season after balancing CONCACAF Champions League and congested match schedule in league play to start the year. New York City FC is one of the in-form teams in MLS with at least a point in the last four games.
These two teams will meet on Saturday evening at Red Bull Arena — the New York Yankees are busy hosting an opponent at NYCFC’s typical home field. For the Crew, it will be a chance to get the team’s first road victory in over and year and also help re-establish itself as an early-season Eastern Conference contender yet again.
