Welcome to Extratips, folks, where today’s dish is a tantalizing MLS clash between Columbus Crew and Atlanta Utd on the 25th of June. Kick-off hits at 23:30 USA time. The Crew, sitting pretty at 8th with 16 points from 8 home games, have a bit of a mixed bag lately—some wins, some frustrating draws, and a 5-1 drubbing in their last outing hasn’t exactly boosted summer morale. Meanwhile, Atlanta sit just above, in 6th, with 15 points from their nine away matches, but recent form isn’t totally convincing — a win, a loss, and some dull draws define their last five outings. Oddsmakers favor Columbus slightly at 1.75, with a draw at 3.80 and Atlanta at 4.33, indicating the home side has a slight edge but not a lock. Looking at head-to-heads, the last five meetings show no clear dominance—two wins each, plus a draw. Both teams are capable of scoring, but defensively, Atlanta has shown vulnerability away, conceding more often. Key factors? Crew's recent struggles against challenging sides and Atlanta’s inconsistent away form could sway things. Expect a tight game where both look for an edge—perhaps a narrow victory for Columbus or a disciplined away draw. Here are some angles: Will the Crew capitalize on home comfort? Can Atlanta’s away attack break the deadlock? Keep an eye on the goal print too—high or low? Let’s dive into some predictions.
