Winless in the team’s last five MLS matches, the Columbus Crew look to get back to winning this Saturday, hosting longtime Eastern Conference rivals D.C. United. D.C. enters the match in a weird spot after firing former head coach Hernan Losada on April 20. Despite this, United was victorious last time out against the New England Revolution, signaling the end of the team’s four-match losing streak in MLS play.
The two teams involved in this match have struggled, are lacking a true identity and desperately need three points. Here’s what to expect from what should be an interesting match in Columbus.
