The reasons for the worst time of the season for Columbus Crew

Columbus Crew is one of the candidate teams to fight for the MLS Cup but for that they must start winning their away games. The game against Cincinnati FC can be a before and after for the Columbus Crew team since as their captain Mensah said, all the champion teams win the majority of away games.

Another problem that Columbus Crew is going through is the recent cases of positive Covid and the rescheduling of matches. At the moment all his players have tested positive but must be retested before the game against Cincinnati. Columbus Crew needs the matches not to be re-mapped.

In addition to the lack of away victories and covid infections, Columubus Crew has had several injuries in very important players. Midfielders Darlington Nagbe, Lucas Zelarayan and goalkeeper Eloy Room are some of the players who will not be able to be against Cincinnati FC. The last game against Cincinnati was a 3-0 victory for Columbus Crew but this time it will be under different conditions.

The Columbus Crew has 6 games left to finish the MLS regular season and is currently 6 behind leaders Toronto FC. The Columbus Crew coach's goal is to be able to finish between second and fourth place. At the moment they are achieving the goal but the end of the season will be difficult for the Columbus Crew.
