When the Major League Soccer schedule was released in March, Saturday’s game was circled on nearly every person’s calendar. It’s the 2020 MLS Cup Final rematch on Saturday at Lower.com Field as the Columbus Crew host the Seattle Sounders. Last December, the two teams met at historic Crew Stadium for the MLS Cup title and the Black & Gold took care of business in a 3-0 upset victory against Seattle.
Eight months later, these two teams couldn’t be on more opposite ends of form. The defending MLS Cup champions in Columbus have lost five consecutive game with their last two losses coming on the road against the Chicago Fire and the New York Red Bulls.
