The Columbus Crew and Atlanta United will wave goodbye to Major League Soccer for a while by facing each other at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field on Saturday evening, when the hosts will be hoping to build on what was a pleasing and slightly surprising low-key win over NYCFC in the US Open Cup. Unlike the Crew, the Five Stripes were sent packing in the cup, losing by four goals to one against Orlando.
In the league, the men being temporarily coached by Laurent Courtois following the dismissal of Henrik Rydström have struggled of late, conceding far too many goals, so don't be overly surprised if they fail to keep it tight here. Given what we've seen from these two in recent weeks, with the Crew doing anything but covering themselves in defensive glory, visiting goals look to be a little more likely than early odds of +201 would have us believe.

Our Columbus Crew vs Atlanta United Fc Prediction
We can look at this and say that the hosts come here off the back of a decent win in the US Open Cup, and they kept a clean sheet in the process, which is positive, but don't be too quick to assume that they'll be as tight here. In league play, they've given lots away of late, especially on the break, and as we know that the Crew will push forward at home, it's not overly difficult to see the Five Stripes hitting on the break.
After all, the hosts have conceded multiple goals in three of their last five, surrendering a total ten goals during that time. Moreover, the visitors have scored multiple goals on the road against the likes of Toronto and Charlotte in recent weeks.
Our Columbus Crew vs Atlanta United Pick: Atlanta United to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
