Wednesday evening features an all-Eastern Conference clash between 4th placed Columbus Crew and lowly 13th placed visitors Atlanta United with the hosts looking to further cement their place in the Finals Series play-off positions.
A 2-1 home win against Vancouver Whitecaps last time out in the MLS halted a six-game winless streak which consisted of four draws along with two defeats; despite picking up points in four stalemates, losses to Charlotte and Inter Miami in 3-2 and 5-1 defeats respectively outweighed the hosts’ minimal gains.
It should be noted however, that the two aforementioned defeats were both incurred on their travels but results overall on home turf at Lower.com Field have been far more consistent as Wilfried Nancy’s side possess a solid looking home record of 5-4-1 17/11.
In addition, Columbus Crew are unbeaten in their last five home games.
Atlanta United will make their way to Lower.com Field looking to avoid a third league defeat on the bounce following recent losses at the hands of NY Red Bulls and New York City respectively, both of which were away from home.
Atlanta United had previously posted back-to-back home wins against Cincinnati FC and Orlando in 4-2 and 3-2 victories respectively, but these have been the visitors’ only highlights within their last 12 matches overall in the MLS.
Ronny Delia’s side have also slipped to a total of seven losses within these previous 12 games which does not bode well for this upcoming trip to face in-form Columbus Crew in their own backyard, especially as Atlanta United have lost five out of their last six outings on the road.
The Betting Verdict
Columbus Crew have won each of the last four meetings at home against Atlanta United and the hosts should prevail once more here.
The Pick :
Columbus Crew 2-1 Atlanta Utd
