Columbus Crew have just come off a 2-3 defeat in the league, and that only makes their situation heavier as they host Charlotte, who sit 5th in the table. The hosts have managed only 8 wins from 28 matches, and the defence is a clear problem having already conceded 46 goals. Charlotte, meanwhile, arrive in clearly superior form with 13 wins and 7 draws from the same number of matches, and they closed out their latest outing with a 3-2 victory. The visitors' attack produces goals more consistently, and they look the side more likely to play the game on their own terms. The thing to watch from kick-off is how well Charlotte cope with the hosts' early pressure, because if the visitors get through that spell, the game should flow the way they want.
