Columbus Crew SC come back home after a two-game road swing where the Black & Gold picked up four of six points, running the team’s record to 7-3-4 on the year. Columbus faces the struggling defending MLS Cup champions, Toronto FC on Saturday evening.
Crew SC’s points streak stretches to seven games, going 4-3-0 over that span, including two 0-0 draws while playing with 10 men for more than a half on the road. The team is being propelled to near the top of the MLS standings by the best defense in the league, a unit that has only allowed 10 goals all year.
