The home team, Atlanta United, led by coach Gonzalo Pineda Reyes, will be looking to bounce back from their recent struggles, having won only one of their last five matches.
Columbus Crew, under the guidance of Wilfried Nancy, have been in scintillating form, winning four and drawing one of their last five games.

The Crew's potent attack has been averaging an impressive 3.4 goals per game, with Atlanta United conceding an average of 2.4 goals per game.
Bet
Considering the recent form and stats, I would recommend betting on Columbus Crew to win away at odds of 2.2. Their dominant performance in their last five matches, coupled with their superior goal-scoring ability, makes them a strong contender for a victory. Additionally, Atlanta United's struggles at home, where they concede an average of 2 goals per game, further strengthens the case for a Columbus Crew win.
The odds may not be as lucrative as some other options, but the probability of a Columbus Crew win seems high based on their current form and head-to-head record against Atlanta United.
