Our prediction for this MLS match:
Columbus Crew will look to build on a 2-1 win over Vancouver Whitecaps when they welcome Atlanta United to their Lower.com Field on Thursday morning. Columbus are undefeated in the previous five home games, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Atlanta United’s visit. Both Maximilian Arfsten and Nicholas Hagen are on international duty, while defender Rudy Camacho remains in the recovery room.
The Five Stripes, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to New York City and given Columbus’ fine run at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Atlanta empty-handed. Midfielder Ajani Fortune is representing Trinidad & Tobago at the 2025 Gold Cup, while the likes of Cohen, Mosquera, Muymba, and Williams miss out with injuries for the visiting team. In their last meeting at the venue, Columbus Crew defeated Atlanta United 1-0.
Highlighted Team (Atlanta United):

Atlanta United is a Major League Soccer club and they were founded on April 16, 2014. They are based in Atlanta, Georgia and they will make their debut in MLS in 2017. Arthur Blank is the club’s owner and Bobby Dodd Stadium is Atlanta United’s home ground.
Arthur Blank is an American businessman, who is well known for his ownership of the NFL club Atlanta Falcons. The venue was opened on September 27, 1913 and its’ current capacity is 60.316. However, it has to be noted that the team will play first eight home games of the 2017 season at Bobby Dodd Stadium, while the latter nine fixtures will be hosted by Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Speaking of the club’s colors, Atlanta United footballers wear black and red shirts and black shorts with a little bit of gold mixed in. Gerardo Martino, who used to be in charge of La Liga side Barcelona in the past, will coach Atlanta United in the 2017 MLS season. Tata Martino won the Spanish Super Cup with Barca, while making it to the Copa America final with Argentina on two occasions (2015, 2016).
