Columbus is a tough team led by captain Darlington Nagbe and Cucho Hernández.

Rossi has contributed four goals and five assists this season.
This will be a tough matchup as Columbus will try to break their winless streak at home against Sporting KC. Their attack, led by Cucho Hernández and Diego Rossi, poses a significant threat to Sporting KC’s defense. But the Crew’s defense has also been key in keeping them in position for the Playoffs. Columbus holds the record for the fewest goals conceded. However, Sporting KC is no stranger to tough challenges and will look to bounce back from their recent defeat and secure a positive result as visitors.
Sporting KC relies on Agada’s great performance in the attack, along with stability in midfield with Memo Rodríguez, Erik Thommy, and Nemanja Radoja. Although Sporting’s lineups have changed frequently this season and it will be difficult to know how the Kansas City team will shape up with five players out and two players questionable. Sporting’s defense will be crucial in breaking down the Columbus Crew’s attack.
