The story leading into the game is Kei Kamara against his former team he unceremoniously left earlier this year. This would make for a better storyline if Federico Higuain, the man he feuded with on his way out of town, were available to play.
Unfortunately for Columbus Crew SC, the team’s playmaker remains out after sports hernia surgery and will not face the New England Revolution, a team he has found much success, on Saturday.
Both teams enter this match in hope of a much-needed win. The two sides sit outside the playoffs at this point and are disappointed with the first half of the season.
