A place in the MLS quarter-finals will be at stake when Cincinnati and Columbus Crew face each other in the decisive third leg. The hosts have plenty of work to do after suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat in the reverse fixture. Cincinnati looked fragile at the back in that match and will have to cope without Japan international Yuya Kubo, who serves a one-game ban. That absence could prove costly for the Orange and Blue, who are struggling to regain confidence.
Columbus, on the other hand, proved their attacking class last time out, creating chances with ease and showing why they are among the favourites for the title. The visitors are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to TQL Stadium. Duo Abou Ali – Farsi remains on the sidelines, but Wilfried Nancy’s men have more than enough depth to cope. Given the gap in current form and momentum, away win should be considered.
This MLS match will be played on Saturday 8 November 2025 at 23:00.
