The Columbus Crew returns to action after the international break this Saturday at home against Nashville SC. It will be a special day for the club, which will honor club legend Federico Higuain who will sign an honorary one-day contract to allow him to retire as a member of the Black & Gold.
In addition to the off-the-field festivities, the Crew will face another early-season test in Nashville SC. In the middle of an eight-game road trip to start the season, Nashville has struggled, losing the last two matches.
Regardless, Nashville has made the MLS Cup playoffs each of the last two years and has always been a tough team to beat, setting a league record for ties last year.
