The Columbus Crew enters Wednesday’s matchup with the New York Red Bulls having lost the last four games. This losing streak has featured back-to-back games in which the Crew conceded four goals and consecutive home defeats. The most recent addition to the loss column was a dismal 1-0 result at Soldier Field to the Chicago Fire.
This highlights a large problem Columbus has in the attacking third, as the team has repeatedly failed to create chances on goal. In fact, the Black & Gold rank lowest in MLS in chance creation and is third from bottom in shots on goal.
