Columbus Crew will host Atlanta United at the Lower.com Field on Wednesday in another round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The home side endured a poor run of results in May and have dropped down to fourth in the Eastern Conference with 31 points from 18 matches.
They returned to winning ways last time out with a 2-1 home victory over Vancouver Whitecaps, with Ibrahim Aliyu opening the scoring after just two minutes before Diego Rossi netted the game-winner midway through the half.
Atlanta United, meanwhile, have endured a quite difficult season and are some distance behind the qualification playoff spots in the second half of the regular season. They were thrashed 4-0 by New York City in their last match, conceding the latter three of those goals in a four-minute second-half spell to register their first defeat at the hands of the Pigeons since 2022.
The visitors sit 13th in the East with just 17 points from 18 matches. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign on track this week.
