The Columbus Crew is back in action on Saturday, this time on the road against Sporting Kansas City. This match follows a disappointing loss for the Crew this past Tuesday in the U.S. Open Cup, falling to USL Championship side Detroit City FC 2-1. In addition to their Open Cup failure, the Black & Gold are winless and goalless in their last three MLS matches.
Due to their recent form, Crew head coach Caleb Porter finds himself firmly on the hot seat, at least in the eyes of some of the fan base. With all of that in mind, this matchup with Kansas City will easily be the biggest game for Columbus so far in 2022.
