Columbus Crew team news and form: Bush injured
The bad news for coach Wilfried Nancy is that he won’t be able to count on backup shot-stopper Even Bush. However, goalkeeper-in-chief Patrick Schulte is fit and ready for action. Surely, this will help the home side achieve three points.
Predicted lineup: Schulte (GK), Amundsen, Camacho, Moreira, Matan, Farsi, Nagbe, Arfsten, Rossi, Russell-Rowe & Hernandez

Player to watch: Cucho Hernandez
Hernandez scored a 54th-minute equalizer for Columbus Crew in the match against DC United at Audi Field last week. He proved once again why he is the leading striker for the visitors. Moreover, he is also the top goalscorer for the team, with 16 goals since the start of the current campaign.
Second player to watch: Diego Rossi
We should also point out that Rossi is not that far from Hernandez’s standards in terms of goals. Rossi found the net on 11 occasions and supplied teammates with eight assists. His presence will boost our key Columbus Crew vs Philadelphia Union predictions’ chances.
