DC United vs Columbus Crew Match Preview
D.C. United will play host to the Columbus Crew at RFK Stadium on Saturday night. D.C. will be hoping to start well as they look to bounce back from last years last place finish in the Eastern Conference.
United will hand a debut to USA international striker who joined the club in the off-season on loan from FC Sochaux in France. Davies will be playing his first competitive game since receiving potentially career threatening injuries in a car crash last year.
Goalkeeper Steve Cronin is injured for United, so goalkeeping coach and MLS veteran Pat Onstad will don the gloves for Ben Olsen’s men.
Columbus will start with an exciting front pair of Jeff Cunningham and designated player Andres Mendoza. After the departure of star playmaker Guillermo Barros Schelotto, midfielders Emanuel Ekpo, Dilly Duka and Robbie Rogers will be expected to step uo and contribute to the attack.
