Saturday’s contest between Columbus Crew SC and New York City FC features two similar teams. Although they do it in different ways, both sides like to play attacking-, possession-style soccer led by up-and-coming, young managers in Gregg Berhatler and Patrick Vieira.
So far this season, the Black & Gold have had more success, but not by much. Crew SC sit tied for second in the Eastern Conference, while NYCFC is in seventh but only three points back.
City certainly have the bigger names with the likes of former Barcelona striker David Villa and veteran Italian international Andrea Pirlo.
