Columbus Crew SC continue west from Dallas, Texas for their second game in a three-match week against the Portland Timbers on Wednesday. Crew SC find themselves still sitting in fourth place in the Eastern Conference following their tough but uninspiring draw against FC Dallas. Though the playoffs seem assured, Columbus has a chance to either overtake New York City FC for third or be caught by the fifth place Philadelphia Union, so all points are important during the season’s final six matches.
The Black & Gold have a nine-point cushion on D.
