Atlanta still has problems, but at least they haven’t lost after a while. On the other hand, Columbus stopped its winning streak, and to make it even more interesting, that happened at home. They have a huge motive to win in Georgia, yet so do the Five Stripes.
Before Betting on Atlanta United vs. Columbus Crew
The United lost four matches in a row, counting in the US Open Cup, before taking a point against New York City FC at home, 2-2. It was a pleasant game, with four goals involved, yet that’s nothing new when Five Stripes hit the field.
Three or more goals have been scored in seven of the previous ten meetings, while both teams have netted in eight. There isn’t a better way to present how Atlanta plays than just mentioning these numbers.
Columbus was a heavy favorite against Charlotte, but in the end, they couldn’t take down the feisty guests. The fans saw a tie, 1-1, the first one following five consecutive victories in which they scored 20 times while conceding just twice.
The Crew is third in the East but has two games in hand, compared to Inter Miami and FC Cincinnati. If they win both, the Herons would have only one point more than the reigning champs.
Atlanta United vs. Columbus Crew Head to Head
