After a single game at home in both July and August, Columbus Crew SC is finally back at MAPFRE with three games in September. The team has a chance to climb the standings against a New York City FC team just ahead of them in the standings.
Crew SC have fallen back to the pack in the standings and are a single point ahead of the Union. A loss would possibly see them fall to fifth in the standings with the possibility of drifting towards the red line.
New York City FC has been struggling to find their footing under new head coach Domènec Torrent.
