📋 Team News: Columbus Crew

Patrick Schulte (Injury to abdominal muscles), Nicholas Hagen (Contracture) and Rudy Camacho (Hamstring injury) will be missing for Columbus Crew manager Wilfried Nancy.

In our view, The Crew should go for a 4-3-3 system in the match featuring Evan Bush, Marcelo Herrera, Steven Moreira, Evgen Cheberko, Lassi Lappalainen, Sean Zawadzki, Darlington Nagbe, Dylan Chambost, Diego Rossi, Jacen Russell-Rowe and Daniel Gazdag.

🗞️ Team News: Atlanta United

Atlanta United boss Ronny Deila has not got a full squad to pick from. Ajani Fortune (Broken foot), Josh Cohen (Groin injury), Tristan Muyumba (Muscle injury) and Stian Gregersen (Hamstring injury) are not ready for selection.

We believe The Five Stripes might play in a 3-2-4-1 formation by sending out Brad Guzan, Matthew Edwards, Luis Abram, Efrain Morales, Brooks Lennon, Pedro Amador, Aleksey Miranchuk, Mateusz Klich, Bartosz Slisz, Miguel Almiron and Emmanuel Latte Lath.

✨ Prediction

In this match, Atlanta United will need to play some great football to find the back of the net against a Columbus Crew side who seem set to control most aspects of this game.

We’re therefore predicting a convincing 3-0 winning scoreline for Columbus Crew when the referee blows the final whistle.
