After an exhilarating and slightly confusing match last weekend against the New England Revolution, the Columbus Crew return to action this Saturday. This time the Crew will face reigning MLS Cup champions New York City FC, once again on the road.
NYCFC is on a tear of six straight unbeaten games and looks every bit capable of repeating as champs in 2022. Here’s what to expect in this matchup.
New York City FC at a Glance:
Record: 4-2-3, 14 points
League Form: D-W-W-W-L
Leading Scorer: Valentin Castellanos (5)
Assist Leader: Talles Magno (4)
Player to Watch: Valentin Castellanos
Castellanos is now a household name in MLS circles and seems to be the prime candidate for a summer move to a top European league.
