Columbus Crew vs. Atlanta United Odds
Game Preview
Apart from losing to Minnesota three weeks ago, the Crew is looking good at home, having won 4 of its past 5 matches. Though when looking overall, they had 4 straight without a triumph (3 defeats) before beating NYCFC in the US Open Cup recently.
The tough schedule and travel took a toll on the team, which parted ways with Henrik Rydstron, the former head coach, a week ago. Columbus is 13th in the East with 13 points in 14 matches, and a goal difference of 19-23.
Atlanta is on a three-match cold streak, having lost two games and tied one. They are 14th in the East, two points behind Columbus, though with a game in hand.
The Five Stripes play interesting football, with 7 of the previous 10 games ending with both teams netting. In 6 of those meetings, we saw over 2.5 hits. Aleksey Miranchuk is the top scorer of the team with 5 goals.
Columbus Crew vs. Atlanta United Head to Head
As mentioned, the Crew has three wins in a row over Atlanta. The most recent in April this year, 1-3 on the road. It’s interesting that all those matches ended with both teams netting and at least 4 hits.
