Columbus Crew SC has made the journey out to the Pacific Northwest for the first and only time this season for a date with the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Here’s what we know about Saturday night’s opponent: The Whitecaps sit atop the Western Conference with 44 points (one more than the Black & Gold) and enter this contest on a five-game unbeaten streak. Striker Fredy Montero has retuned to MLS and had a good year with 11 goal. Former Crew SC midfielder Tony Tchani has become somewhat of a fixture for Vancouver.
But there’s more to that which makes up the side.
