Columbus Crew vs Atlanta Utd tips and predictions

Columbus Crew to pass Atlanta Utd test

Go carefully when analysing this clash but Columbus Crew can ease past Atlanta Utd.

Time will tell if it's relevant but Columbus Crew might have reasons to be confident about adding to Atlanta Utd's latest reverses. The visitors come into the match with 11 losses from their last 20 away trips. That might not be the right preparation for this.

These home players are doing some good stuff and they're gaining some impetus. The Crew scored at least once in 16 of their recent 17 matches while they haven't been charitable, letting in only 2 goals in their last 5 games at home.

Atlanta Utd have not enjoyed some of their recent trips. They actually conceded two or more goals in 13 of their last 16 away matches. It's not a trend they'd want to continue given the task ahead of them.

Columbus Crew have won 5 of the last 7 fixtures between these sides. It might not be significant but the head-to-head stats point to another home win.

The clash does have an anything could happen feel about it though. So don't rule out the match ending in parity. The betting markets suggest that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they could be well matched. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks reasonable this time around.
