Columbus Crew won the League Cup in 2024. They failed to reach the quarterfinals of the previous edition after the format change, but Courtois's team seems ready to take on another cup competition. This time, they will face Atlas in the tournament that brings together MLS and Liga MX teams.
Columbus Crew recently faced Messi and company; it was a match in which Inter Miami were leading twice, but the visiting team managed to equalize twice, with their new signing, Braian Méndez, scoring the equalizer to make it 2-2. The Spanish midfielder arrived from Real Sociedad with the aim of providing attacking clarity to his team.
Atlas will be in Ohio after a season start marked by the news that they were unable to keep their manager, Diego Cocca. Hernán Crespo arrived as a last-minute replacement, but he lost his debut match 0-2 against Monterrey in Jalisco, a game in which Duk and Valenzuela were sent off.

Our Columbus Crew vs Atlas FC Prediction
After the long World Cup break, Columbus Crew returned to MLS action, losing at home to New York City FC. They then defeated Cincinnati 2-1 with goals from Thiare and Gazdag before halftime and secured a valuable draw at Nu Stadium.
Atlas also won two matches, one against León and another against Santos Laguna, but they played much worse against a heavyweight opponent like Monterrey. Their coach expressed his displeasure with the result after the match. Crespo is a manager with a proven track record of winning the Copa Sudamericana and the AFC Champions League.
Our prediction for Columbus Crew vs Atlas is: Columbus Crew to win.
