Team News

Columbus
Portland
  • Christian Ramirez is out with a thigh injury.
  • Evan Bush is out for several months with a wrist injury.
  • Marvin Loria has had knee surgery and is out 4-5 months.
  • Zac McGraw is dealing with a head injury and hasn't passed concussion protocol yet.
  • Dario Zuparic is most likely done in Portland after reportedly not being allowed at the training facility.
  • Maxime Crepeau is out serving a red card suspension.

Prediction

  • Columbus fully rotated over the weekend and was still able to draw against Real Salt Lake. The Crew has a mid-week CONCACAF Champions Cup matchup, but with last weekend's rotation, we should see close to a full squad.
  • Portland's hot start to the season has severely cooled down. A home draw against LAFC is a positive result, but they haven't had a win in five matches.
