Columbus Crew vs. Atlanta United Betting Preview
Columbus Crew
The Columbus Crew remains one of the most successful teams in the soccer MLS standings, but they have really struggled for momentum across the previous two seasons. Last term, they failed to reach the playoffs after finishing 16th overall, and they have started this campaign in a very similar vein of form.
The Crew has won just once from their opening four matches of the season, and they come into this after going two without a victory. In their previous game, they were beaten on the road by the New York Red Bulls.
However, positives for those taking the hosts on their Columbus Crew vs Atlanta United picks this weekend stem from their home form.
They have played just once at Lower.com Field this term, with that match ending in a 2-0 success against D.C. United. However, this appears to be one of their trickier tests in the early weeks of the MLS 2023 schedule.
Atlanta United
Last season was bitterly disappointing for Atlanta United, as they missed out on the playoffs after finishing 23rd overall in the MLS standings.
Many questioned whether they could get back on track this term, as they allowed influential forward Josef Martinez to leave the club. However, that decision has been vindicated based on the early results of Atlanta United schedule this term.
They currently sit top of the Eastern Conference after winning three of their four matches this term, and only St. Louis City boasts a better record across the whole of the MLS.
United come into this game after winning each of their previous two matches, with the most recent of those coming in the form of a 5-1 success against the Portland Timbers last weekend. Meanwhile, their only game on the road to this point ended in a 3-0 success against Charlotte FC.
Columbus Crew vs. Atlanta United Betting Picks
We think there’s value for the Columbus Crew vs Atlanta United picks this weekend based on the form of both sides so far this term. Atlanta appears to be under-priced in the odds available, which means that we will be taking them on the moneyline.
MLS picks have become more accessible than ever before, with a wide range of analysis and predictions for every match.
Meanwhile, the previous three matches between the sides have averaged four goals per game, which means over 3.5 goals in the match could be a solid option.
- Pick 1: Atlanta United (+170)
- Pick 2: Over 3.5 Goals (+200)
