Columbus Crew SC resumes the team’s regular season campaign with a matchup of sides in unfamiliar positions, below the red line. The Crew have missed the playoff once in the last five seasons while Sporting Kansas City haven’t missed the postseason since 2010.
It’s been over three weeks since the Crew’s last Major League Soccer game due to the Gold Cup break. The team defeated Pittsburgh and lost to Atlanta in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup over that time. The Black & Gold are getting healthier, with both fullbacks ready to return to the lineup.
