Columbus Crew kept their undefeated streak alive last week despite the frustrating match against Sporting Kansas City. After two consecutive games on the road, they will now return home, where they will play host to a struggling Toronto FC side on Saturday. Toronto FC is also coming off a frustrating result and have been inconsistent throughout the whole season and even more so lately.

Columbus Crew (7-3-4) are coming into this match after an upsetting and goal-less draw on the road against Western Conference leaders Sporting Kansas City. Columbus missed a chance to take the lead at the end of the first half when Zardes missed from the penalty spot and Crew were also left with ten men just minutes later when Higuain was sent off. However, they managed to hold on for a single point from that goal-less draw. Columbus extended their undefeated streak to seven matches and had kept clean sheets in each of their last five. They are now sitting at the 2nd spot of the Eastern Conference with 25 points, one point behind Atlanta United and featuring the best defense in the MLS with just ten conceded goals. They will be missing the injured Santos and Sosa who is still listed as doubtful.

On the other hand, Toronto FC (3-7-1) were also engaged in a tough result last week, as they fell by 1-0 at home against FC Dallas. Their opponents took the lead very early in the match (11th minute), while Toronto had a chance to pull even but missed from the penalty spot. Despite being the better team in the match, they failed to score a goal and eventually met their third loss in their last four. They are now sitting at the 9th spot of the Eastern Conference with 10 points, having scored just 14 goals so far, while conceding 20 in the process. Moreover, they have been pathetic on the road so far, as they have lost all four matches and have conceded multiple goals in their last three. They will be coming into this match without Moor who is injured, while Altidore, Hasler, Mavinga, Morrow, and Morgan are being listed as doubtful to participate.
