It’s been a forgettable season for Columbus (16 points), while New England (19 points) will look to string a few wins together in order to move up in the table. The lackluster records of these two teams is not deterring fans from buying tickets on the secondary market, though. On Razorgator, Columbus vs. New England tickets start at $27, which is the second highest get-in ticket price this weekend.

Orlando City enters this game having lost two straight games, while Houston is on a two-game winning streak as it tries to turn its season around.
