Columbus Crew have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their last 5 matches. Their most recent result was a 1-0 win over New York City FC. That is a concerning run that puts real pressure on the squad ahead of this match.

Atlanta United FC have picked up 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in their last 5 outings. They come into this off the back of a 4-1 defeat to Orlando City SC. Away form has been inconsistent, and getting a result here will be a test of their character.

Both sides have been producing comparable results over their recent matches, which suggests this could be a tight and competitive affair with little separating the two teams.
