Columbus Crew take on DC United this weekend

The MLS returns to the fold with another set of important matches this weekend as Columbus Crew lock horns with DC United on Saturday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and have a point to prove this weekend.

Columbus Crew are in tenth place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have failed to meet expectations this year. The Crew edged Orlando City to a 3-2 victory in their previous game and will want to achieve a similar result in this fixture.

DC United, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have also had their struggles this season. The home side got the better of New York Red Bulls this week and will be confident going into this game.

Even more reasons to come out to @AudiField tomorrow night.
