It’s a big day in Major League Soccer with Columbus once again being the focus of a Saturday in the 2021 season. The Columbus Crew, the defending MLS Cup champions, is set to face the Seattle Sounders in a rematch of last year’s final at Lower.com Field. The two sides played each other in the regular season as well in 2020 with the Black & Gold drawing Seattle 1-1 on the road.
The two teams come into the game playing very differently. The Sounders have won three straight in all competitions with noticeable victories against Tigres in the Leagues Cup and the Portland Timbers on the road.
