Columbus Crew team news

The Crew draw confidence from their recent consistency, tying 1-1 with Toronto FC in their last outing and holding an 8-2-4 home record this year. Their only defeat since July came on penalties in the Leagues Cup against Toluca.

Key forward Jacen Russell-Rowe, second-highest scorer for the club this season with seven goals, is expected to start, supported by Cucho Hernández and Diego Rossi, who both bring an attacking threat. No major injuries or suspensions are reported, allowing the club to field a strong lineup. 

New England Revolution team news

The Revs are struggling for form, with only one win in their last eleven overall, and coming off a 2-0 away defeat at LAFC. They have been stuck in 11th place for eleven straight games and are 11 points off the playoff line, making this match vital.

There is positive injury news, with forward Ignatius Ganago returning from his long absence and picking up a start last week - his chemistry with striker Leo Campana is a focal point as they try to revitalize the attack. Carles Gil continues to be the team’s creative linchpin with the highest chance of creation and Tomas Chancalay leads in shots on target. No new major injuries or suspensions are noted, so New England will likely field their strongest available lineup as they look for a turnaround on the road.
