After five matches of struggles and frustration, Columbus Crew SC seem to have found its form again as the Black & Gold bounced back with a solid 3-1 victory over the LA Galaxy on Wednesday at MAPFRE Stadium.
The Crew returns home on Saturday to face the other Los Angeles team, Los Angeles Football Club. Bob Bradley and Carlos Vela’s club is the best team in Major League Soccer right now, having earn 24 points in 11 games so far.
After a promising performance against the Galaxy and comments about being more conservative on rotating the roster, I expect head coach Caleb Porter to repeat the team’s formation this weekend:

Footnotes:
- Winger David Accam trained just once with his new teammates this week after coming over from the Philadelphia Union in a trade at the deadline, but I believe he’ll be part of the game day roster against LAFC.
