For the third and final time this season, a classic Eastern Conference rivalry renews between Columbus Crew SC and the Chicago Fire.
The two sides have met twice already this year. On opening day, the Fire managed to leave MAPFRE Stadium with a 1-1 draw. A month later, Crew SC travelled to Toyota Park where Chicago managed a 1-0 win in Bastian Schweinsteiger’s second game with the club.
Heading into this meeting back in Columbus, the Men in Red sit second in both the East and the Supporter’s Shield race. The Black & Gold have managed to hang on to the sixth and final playoff spot, but need to string together some results with Orland City SC and the Philadelphia Union close behind.
