Time now to check on the likely sides plus injury/suspension updates for Saturday’s forthcoming MLS clash.
Columbus Crew will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 5-1 MLS losing effort in their last game against Inter Miami. It looks as if The Crew will possibly opt for a 4-4-2 formation this time with Nicholas Hagen, Mohamed Farsi, Steven Moreira, Yevgen Cheberko, Malte Amundsen, Max Arfsten, Dylan Chambost, Darlington Nagbe, Dániel Gazdag, Diego Rossi and Ibrahim Aliyu.
Patrick Schulte, Sean Zawadzki and Rudy Camacho are unavailable for Columbus boss Wilfried Nancy.
How Columbus Crew might line up against Vancouver Whitecaps
Vancouver Whitecaps come into this clash following on from a 3-0 MLS win in the defeat of Seattle Sounders FC in their previous match. From our viewpoint, Caps will likely make use of a 4-3-3 lineup by sending out Yohei Takaoka, Mathías Laborda, Giuseppe Bovalina, Sam Adekugbe, Tate Johnson, Sebastian Berhalter, Andres Cubas, Jean-Claude Ngando, Ali Ahmed, Daniel Rios and Jayden Nelson.
Out of a mainly full-strength group, there is just the sole fitness worry for the Vancouver Whitecaps manager Jesper Sørensen to be concerned about. Ryan Gauld (Knee injury) won’t be playing here.
