Atlanta United vs Columbus Crew Prediction: Neither teams won't want to lose.

Atlanta United and Columbus Crew look set for the playoffs in a few weeks. It's been a tough season for both clubs, but playing in the playoffs might be categorized as a success for both sides. Atlanta United are coming off a 3-2 defeat to Philadelphia Union in their last game, while Columbus Crew maintained their 4-match unbeaten run with another win against New England Revolution. These two will face each other and continue to fight for their place in the playoff places.

Atlanta United

Atlanta United are 6th in the Eastern Conference, with 49 points and Nashville have 45 points in 7th place with a game in hand. The last time Atlanta United need right now is a poor result and as the gear up to face The Crew, they will be fighting for all 3 points.

Atlanta United lost their last game 3-2 against Philadelphia Union away from home. Atlanta has a rocky start to the game, conceding 3 first half goals against Philadelphia Union. And then in the second half, Thiago Almada and Edwin Mosquera grabbed 2 goals, but they ended up losing at full time. The defeat was Atlanta's first defeat in their last 5 games.

Atlanta United had a miserable experience against The Crew the last time both clubs faced each other. Columbus Crew put 6 past Atlanta's goal and Brooks Lennon scored Atlanta's only goal to bring the game 6-1 at full time. The last time Atlanta United beat Columbus Crew was back in 2021.
