• Atlanta have lost six of their eight away games

Atlanta face another setback on the road

Atlanta are one of the worst travellers in MLS, having lost six of their eight trips in the league this term. They head into this game following a pair of defeats in New York, falling 2-0 at Red Bulls and 4-0 against NYCFC.

Columbus Crew are second in the Supporters’ Shield standings, while they’ve put together an impressive home record. The Crew have won five of their 10 home matches this term, finding plenty of success against the league’s weakest teams.

Their five home games against the sides with the 15-weakest records in MLS this term have brought four wins and a draw, scoring 12 times. Meanwhile, Atlanta United have the sixth-worst record in the division, while they’ve scored just four times in eight away trips, while conceding 19 goals in return.

The hosts are fresh from one of their most impressive results of the season, beating Western Conference leaders the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1. Back Columbus to follow that up with another victory against a side who are awful on the road.
