Toronto FC are set to face one of their oldest rivals, the Columbus Crew, and will need a result if they hope to avoid missing the MLS playoffs for the second year in a row. The 34th regular season MLS meeting between the two clubs is the most in TFC history - but the stakes are always changing.
Former TFC architect Tim Bezbatchenko left the club in the now infamous off-season of 2018, and is President of his hometown Crew. The fate of the team leaving town is no longer at the top of concerns for Columbus faithful, but at this point, neither are the playoffs.
