Saturday’s pivotal match between FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew will give local fans fits of dread and positivity. So many phantoms lurk from the past two seasons alone. Still, from the perspective of a third party, what are the chances that snowball in hell melts or freezes? Can Cincinnati rebound from the devastation of Match #2? Can Columbus avoid another letdown in the Queen City?
To get finer points on the match, we’ve asked MLS Season Pass color commentator and analyst Danny Higginbotham to provide his two cents. Where does this season’s “Hell Is Real” derby belong in the pantheon of soccer rivalries? What does it take for a team to capitalize in elimination games like these? Who from either side needs to produce an individual performance that lifts their team to the next round?
