Prediction: 3-1
Atlanta United
Columbus kick off their 2024 MLS campaign with a home game against Atlanta United. The Crew did well to beat Toronto 4-2 in their last warm-up game and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Juan Camilo Hernandez, who scored 21 goals in the MLS last term, while new signings Derrick Jones and Marino Hinestroza are likely to make their Columbus debuts against the Five Stripes.
The visitors, on the other hand, suffered a 3-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City in their last friendly match, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home side. Machop Chol remains in the recovery room, while new recruit Bartosz Slisz is ready for his Major League Soccer derby. In their last meeting at Lower.com Stadium Columbus Crew defeated Atlanta United 4-2.
