For the fifth and final time in the 2019 Major League Soccer regular season, Columbus Crew SC takes part in a Wednesday night game on the back of a contest just four days prior. While Black & Gold fans are understandably excited for the second meeting between Hell is Real rivals this weekend Columbus has another opponent to attend to, this one in the Bronx.
The Crew and New York City FC will meet for the second time in the 2019 midweek after battling to a 2-2 draw in early June. Since that point, the two teams have gone in different trajectories as they race toward the postseason.
