Crew SC remains one point away from clinching a playoff spot, and sits at third in the Eastern Conference in Week 30 of MLS action. Columbus and New England are tied with 47 points in 31 matches, and the Black & Gold’s next opponent sits at the top of the table—the New York Red Bulls. After a close 2-1 loss at home to the Portland Timbers last weekend, here’s how Crew SC fares in this week’s MLS Power Rankings:
MLSsoccer.com drops Columbus two spots from third to fifth, citing defensive difficulties.
SI.com takes Crew SC from second to sixth this week, but states its optimism looking ahead. Sports Illustrated mentions a road win this weekend could push Columbus into first in the East.
