Columbus Crew Preview – Can the Crew extend undefeated run to ten?
Columbus Crew have been very tough to beat under Caleb Porter this season. So far, the Black & Gold have suffered just five MLS defeats, with only Los Angeles, Philadelphia Union and New York City losing fewer.
Columbus are draw specialists, though, with nine of their 21 matches ending all square. Since suffering back-to-back losses to New York and LAFC back in May, the Crew are unbeaten in nine, winning four and drawing five.
If they can start turning some draws into wins, Columbus could be the team to watch out for in the latter stages of the 2022 season. Having drawn three of their last four at home, Porter’s troops will be looking for all three points at Lower.com Field in midweek.
Montreal Preview – Can the Canadians make it ten points from 12?
Montreal are having a fine season in MLS, currently sitting behind Philadelphia and New York in third place in the Eastern table. The Canadians have picked up 11 wins from 22 MLS fixtures, drawing three and losing eight of the other 11.
The Impact have bounced back from defeats to LA Galaxy and Kansas City by taking seven points from the last nine on offer. Before drawing 0-0 with in-form New York last time out, Montreal claimed back-to-back victories over Toronto and DC United.
