Chicago Fire at Columbus Crew

When: 3 p.m. today at Crew Stadium.

TV: Channel 50.

Scouting the Fire: The good news is the Fire (1-4-8, 11 points) hasn’t allowed a goal the past two games after Thursday’s draw at Kansas City. The bad news is the Fire hasn’t scored a goal the past two games. The worse news is the winless streak stands at 11 games.

Scouting the Columbus Crew: Andres Mendoza and Emilio Renteria lead the Crew (4-3-6, 18 points) with 4 goals apiece. Like the Fire, the Crew is playing on short rest after Wednesday’s 2-1 victory against Real Salt Lake.

Next game: at New England, Saturday.
