Columbus Crew host New England Revolution at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field on Saturday, August 29 (7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM PT).
There’s no fresh team news to complicate selection for either side, so expect New England Revolution to lean once more on Carles Gil, who arrives with seven goals and fifty-six chances created this season, well clear of anyone in either dugout, in support of Dor Turgeman and Alhassan Yusuf, who have five goals apiece. Columbus Crew, unable to call on anyone new either, will look to Dániel Gazdag, their leading scorer with three goals, and Hugo Picard, who has chipped in with two and created eleven chances of his own.
Columbus Crew sit fifteenth in the East on twenty points from twenty-one games, some way off the playoff picture. They were beaten 3-2 at Nashville SC last time out. New England Revolution occupy fourth spot on thirty-four points, firmly inside the playoff picture. They were held 1-1 by NYCFC in their most recent outing. Gazdag and Picard have carried Columbus’s attacking threat all year, and with Gil and Turgeman doing the same for the visitors, there should be enough quality at both ends for a game with goals in it.
