Columbus Crew host New York Red Bulls at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field on Saturday, September 12 (7:30 PM ET \/ 6:30 PM CT \/ 4:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Columbus Crew have no fresh fitness concerns heading into this one, and Wessam Abou Ali leads the line off the back of five goals this season, while D\u00e1niel Gazdag (eight chances created) and Taha Habroune (35 chances created) both offer proven creative output from midfield. New York Red Bulls, also with a clean bill of health, will lean on Julian Hall and Jorge Ruvalcaba up top, with Emil Forsberg pulling the strings behind them after supplying 31 chances created of his own this season.<\/p>\n

Columbus Crew sit 13th in the Eastern Conference<\/a> and will fancy building on Saturday’s 3-0 win over Colorado Rapids, a rare bright spot after 4 defeats in their previous 5 league outings. New York Red Bulls arrive 10th in the same conference on the back of a 0-0 draw at Seattle Sounders, a side that has found goals hard to come by of late. Expect a competitive, tightly fought contest that still produces goals at both ends, with Columbus’s superior firepower up top edging it 2-1.<\/p>\n\n\n
