It’s a Saturday night matchup in the Space City between two teams in different galaxies. The Columbus Crew took that one small step for an MLS team, making the MLS Cup playoffs while opponents the Houston Dynamo has had trouble igniting its launch up the table. This will be the Crew’s fifth and final regular season game against a Western Conference team and the second trip to Texas this fall.
The Black & Gold broke their winless run last Sunday with a 3-1 victory at MAPFRE Stadium against New York City FC.
