Columbus Crew predicted lineup vs LAFC: Leagues Cup 2024

Columbus Crew will aim to lift another piece of silverware under head coach Wilfried Nancy when they take on LAFC this weekend in the Leagues Cup final.

The reigning MLS Cup winners are fresh off a 3-1 victory over Philadelphia Union in which Diego Rossi grabbed a brace while Juan 'Cucho' Hernandez was also on the scoresheet to help Crew prevail at home. After missing out on silverware in June to Pachuca in the Concacaf Champions Cup final, Columbus will look to get back on track and a trophy to their cabinet this weekend.

Nancy will look to stick with his preferred 3-4-2-1 system that's saw seen him reach three finals since December of last year with Patrick Schulte in goal and Hernandez leading the line.

Here's how the Crew could take the pitch against LAFC in the Leagues Cup final.

Columbus Crew predicted lineup vs LAFC ( 3-4-2-1 )

GK: Patrick Schulte - Schulte is coming off a solid performance in which he made three saves against the Union in between the sticks.

CB: Steven Moreira - The Cape Verde international put in a shift at the back in the semi-finals and played key role in the build-up for Hernandez's second-half strike.

CB: Rudy Camacho - Nancy relies on Camacho to be the experienced and steady hand at the back in big moments and this weekend will be no exception.

CB: Malte Amundsen - After Evgen Cheberko's error gave the Union a free goal, Nancy could live to swap him out for Amundsen at left center-back.

RWB: Mohamed Farsi - Farsi was one of the Crew's best performers in the semi-finals thanks to his tireless work rate up-and-down the right-hand side of the pitch.

CM: Sean Zawadzki - Zawadzki helps provide stability in the middle of the park alongside the veteran Nagbe.

CM: Darlington Nagbe - Columbus' captain will be fully focused on bringing home his fourth major trophy as a Crew player.

LWB: DeJuan Jones - Nancy could opt for the ex-New England Revolution player due to the experience he has not only at the club level but on the international stage.

AM: Christian Ramirez - Ramirez has been in excellent form as of late and has proven to be more versatile playing just behind Hernandez alongside Rossi.

AM: Diego Rossi - The former LAFC player is set to take on his old club once again while he's in the terrific form with six goals scored during the competition.

ST: Juan 'Cucho' Hernandez - One of the best strikers in North America leads the line for Columbus, hoping to secure another title with the Eastern Conference team.
