We are getting to the closing days of the MLS is Back Tournament group stage and for Columbus Crew SC, there is not much suspense entering the final match on Tuesday against Atlanta United. The Crew is one of four teams that know it’s moving on to the Round of 16. The only unknown for Columbus is whether the team wins the group and who they will play in the first knockout game.
Group E is also one of the few groups that will have the final two matches played over separate days. FC Cincinnati and the New York Red Bulls don’t play until Wednesday evening as they fight for second place in the group.
