Playoff hopes on the line at Audi Field
With both sides sitting outside the playoff places, this clash at Audi Field is a critical opportunity to close the gap on the top nine in the Eastern Conference.
DC United enter this fixture 12th in the table, trailing the playoff places by two points with 12 games remaining. Manager Rene Weiler is under pressure to find a spark as his side is winless in five matches. They return to action fresh after their weekend fixture against FC Cincinnati was cancelled, meaning their last outing was a 0-0 draw against Los Angeles FC.
Columbus Crew sit 13th, four points off the playoff spots with 11 games left to play. They finally snapped a four-match losing streak last time out with a convincing 3-0 victory over Colorado Rapids, scoring twice late on to secure the points. That win provided a much-needed boost after a dismal run of results against Charlotte, Montreal, and Nashville.
