Saturday’s match will be played at noon PST at Mapfre Stadium in Columbus Ohio.
Top of the Table Clash: Both the Vancouver Whitecaps (2-1-1) and the Columbus Crew (3-0-1) sit atop their respective divisions early in the season. The Caps will look to derail the dominant start Gregg Berhalter and his team have enjoyed.
Keep the Streak Alive: The caps have won the last two times they’ve visited Columbus and are undefeated against the Crew under head coach Carl Robinson. In order to succeed the Caps will need to disrupt the Crew’s possession from the back mentality.
