It has been a solid run of form for Columbus Crew SC, which is unbeaten in its last six.
That said, a lot can still happen in the final month of the MLS regular season, and so Saturday’s home game against fellow lower-tier playoff position squad New York Red Bulls is a critical one (CCSC sits in fifth, New York in sixth).
A full three points is a huge boost to the Black & Gold’s cause, while a loss would pressurize the remaining three games even more, as the Montreal Impact’s mid-week win over Toronto only muddies the waters more.
