Columbus Crew vs Atlanta United Betting Analysis

Atlanta has come flying out of the gates this season with three wins and a draw and sit atop the Eastern Conference. They have scored 11 goals led by Thiago Almada who has scored four goals and assisted on another four already.

While it’s obviously early in the season, the Three Stripes rank 2nd in the league averaging 16.5 shots per 90 minutes, along with 6.0 on target which ranks 3rd. Their 1.75 xG per match also ranks 3rd in the league.

Atlanta United Without Key Players

So, it only makes sense to look to back Atlanta or perhaps look to back goals in this match, right? Not so fast. We are in the middle of the international break.

However, the MLS is playing on as they already have a month break planned this summer for the inaugural Leagues Cup.

Please take some caution to review all the players that will be missing from rosters this weekend. Check them out HERE

Atlanta will be without Almada and his eight goals that he has contributed to already this season, along with newcomers Giakoumakis and Etienne who have just started to find their roles on this team.

Starting defender Miles Robinson will also be missing as he travels with team USA. That leaves a lot of holes on the field for Atlanta with some big shoes to fill.

Columbus Can’t Get Back to Winning Ways

On the other side, Columbus is also missing three key players. Keeper Eloy Room, although I usually don’t put too much stock into the keeper, along with Degenek and Zelarayan who are two key pieces in the midfield and defense for the Crew.

I can’t make an argument that either team benefits more than the other with the missing players this week as we are removing some continuity on both sides of the ball, leaving the “next man up” mentality.

However, that generally leads to less chances created as you have more players on the field that haven’t gotten their minutes played with one another and their on-the-field chemistry lacks.

Columbus Crew vs Atlanta United Expert Prediction

The trends for both teams this season point to the over, as does the recent H2H series with each of the last three and six of the last eight finishing over the total.

When everything seems so obvious, it’s often not. There is a reason the oddsmakers don’t have this total set higher.

Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals Scored -105

About The Author

Nick Borrman fell in love with professional ‘football’ (as anyone outside of the United States would refer to it) the first time he attended an MLS game seven years ago.

Now, he uses statistical analysis as well as current trends to successfully find value on soccer matches across the globe.

Borrman focuses much of his attention on the Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, Bundesliga and Serie A, as well as the most prestigious tournament of them all, the Champions League.

Of course, you can’t forget the fast-growing MLS which finishes the year-round soccer schedule through the summer months in North America.

Borrman derives many of his plays from his model forecasts and releases plays several days ahead of time to consistently beat line moves.
