The 2024 edition of MLS returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Atlanta United take on an impressive Columbus Crew

Atlanta：

Atlanta United faces a critical challenge as they host Columbus Crew at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday, aiming to break free from their recent winless streak. Rob Valentino's side ended a three-game MLS losing streak with a hard-fought 2-2 draw against New York City FC in their last outing. Goals from Daniel Rios and Saba Lobjanidze gave Atlanta a first-half lead, but they were unable to hold on as NYCFC fought back in the second half. Despite their spirited performance, Atlanta United finds themselves in 12th place in the Eastern Conference, just two points shy of a playoff spot. Their home form has been particularly disappointing, with only one win in their last seven matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. With a challenging fixture against a resilient Columbus Crew ahead, Atlanta United will be eager to capitalize on home advantage and turn their season around with a much-needed victory.

Columbus Crew：

Columbus Crew enters the clash against Atlanta United with confidence, riding a six-game unbeaten streak across all competitions. The visitors have been in impressive form, with only one defeat in their last eight encounters against their upcoming opponents, claiming victory in five of those matches. This season, Columbus Crew's consistency has been a key factor in their success, positioning them well in the Eastern Conference standings. With Atlanta United struggling at home, Columbus Crew will look to capitalize on their opponent's recent woes and further solidify their place near the top of the table. As they aim to continue their unbeaten run, Columbus Crew understands the significance of securing points away from home and will approach the Mercedes-Benz Stadium clash with determination to extend their positive streak.
