Columbus Crew SC’s home stand continues as a suddenly struggling D.C. United comes to town for a midweek match. Both teams are playing on short rest after weekend games with both sides losing at home.
The Black & Gold are on a two-game losing streak, first on the road to the Montreal Impact and then at home to the previously winless Portland Timbers on Saturday. The offense is misfiring, averaging one goal per game, and now there’s concerns about the defense that has twice given up three goals this season.
