After a thrilling 3-1 victory at home last weekend against D.C. United, Columbus Crew SC remains at the friendly confines of MAPFRE Stadium for this week’s encounter with the Vancouver Whitecaps.
The question on most people’s minds is will it be friendly? While Crew SC has begun 2018 brightly with three wins in four matches, the Black & Gold have not defeated the Whitecaps since 2011 with two losses coming in Columbus.
Vancouver is off to a good start as well at 2-1-1, but has failed to win in each of its last two matches.
