Columbus Crew and Red Bull New York seek stability at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field
Both Columbus Crew and Red Bull New York enter this weekend’s MLS encounter under pressure to rediscover their rhythm after challenging runs of form. The two sides meet at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field on 12 September 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 23:30 UTC, as both teams look to climb the table during this busy stretch of the season.
Defensive fragility and the late-game struggle
Columbus Crew have found the going tough recently, with a 2-1 defeat to DC United on 9 September marking another frustrating result. A recurring theme for the side has been their vulnerability in the final quarter of matches, having conceded 5 goals after the 75th minute across their last 10 outings. Tightening up these closing stages will be the primary objective for the defensive unit as they prepare to face a Red Bull attack looking to exploit any late lapses in concentration.
Red Bull New York’s search for attacking spark
Red Bull New York arrive in Ohio following a difficult 2-0 loss against Los Angeles FC on 10 September. Their recent form has been defined by a lack of clinical finishing, as they have struggled to find the back of the net consistently throughout their last 10 matches. With Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Emil Forsberg expected to lead the line, the visitors will be desperate to break their recent scoring drought and secure a vital result away from home.
Team news and expected lineups
Columbus Crew must navigate this fixture without Rudy Camacho, who remains sidelined due to injury. The expected XI for the hosts features Patrick Schulte in goal, protected by a defensive line including Mohamed Farsi, Brooks Lennon, Malte Amundsen, Sean Zawadzki, and Cesar Ruvalcaba. In the middle, Tarun Karumanchi, Taha Habroune, and Dylan Chambost are expected to provide the creative link for forwards Josef Martinez and Jamal Thiare.
For the visitors, the expected lineup includes Ethan Horvath in goal behind a defensive unit of Devin Padelford, Julian Bazan, Justin Che, and Dylan Nealis. The midfield is expected to be anchored by Adri Mehmeti, while the attacking threat will likely come from the trio of Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Cade Cowell, and Emil Forsberg, with Mohammed Sofo also expected to feature in the forward line.
History between the sides
Matches between these two clubs have frequently been tight affairs, often decided by fine margins. The most recent meeting took place on 13 May 2026, when Red Bull New York edged a 3-2 victory in a high-scoring encounter. Looking back further, the pair also met during the 2024 MLS playoffs, where they split results across two legs, highlighting the competitive and unpredictable nature of this rivalry.
