Remember when Columbus Crew SC fans were ready to pull the plug on the season? Well, on Saturday at MAPFRE Stadium the club will line up against Eastern Conference bottom feeder D.C. United with a chance to clinch a postseason berth and position itself well in the seeding.
D.C. is playing its third game in seven days following a win over the San Jose Earthquakes and a fortunate draw with New York Red Bulls at midweek.
United played the same starting 11 in both games, which will likely result in some mix of player rotation and fatigued legs this weekend.
