Current form: DC United vs Columbus Crew
DC United come into this match unbeaten in their last ten matches across all competitions, and that includes a 0-0 draw with Chicago Fire on Decision Day. With Philadelphia Union losing 3-1 to NYC FC, United were able to seal fourth spot in the Eastern Conference and as a result of finishing higher in the table get the chance to play this play-off tie at home.
Star striker Wayne Rooney has taken like a duck to water since joining MLS, with seven goals and six assists and the former Manchester United icon will certainly be doing his very best to fire his team into the next round as United host the Crew on Thursday evening.
Meanwhile, Columbus Crew also pipped Union to fifth spot thanks to their 3-2 win over Minnesota United. Gyasi Zardes was the hero of the day, scoring a hat-trick to seal their place in the play-offs and making him the eighth player in franchise history to achieve this feat.
It was especially notable as Gregg Berhalter's side had come into that game having lost back-to-back games against Montreal Impact (3-0) and Orlando City (2-1) and desperately needed a result to keep their play-off hopes alive, but they are not out of the woods just yet. Crew have struggled on the road all season, with just three wins in regular season play (D5 L9) and they are taking on a side with one of the strongest home records in the league.
Current position: DC United vs Columbus Crew
Although they ended the regular season tied on points, United sit ahed of Crew thanks to their vastly superior goal difference.
