Match Preview: What’s at stake?
Two Eastern Conference clubs heading in opposite directions are set for a high-stakes showdown as New York City FC look to strengthen their push toward the top of the standings against a struggling Columbus Crew side desperate to revive its season.
NYCFC enter the matchup with 19 points, still well behind conference-leading Nashville SC and their 30-point pace, but firmly in the playoff picture and eager to build momentum in the race for silverware.
Columbus, meanwhile, have managed just 13 points and currently sit outside even the play-in spots, making the US Open Cup a major opportunity to salvage their campaign with a deep tournament run and a chance to bring home a trophy.
