It hasn’t been an easy road for the Columbus Crew in 2022. The Black & Gold are in another losing streak, this time only two matches after two straight 2-0 losses to New York City FC and LAFC.
Now, Columbus faces Atlanta United, who sits three points ahead of the Crew in the Eastern Conference standings. Question marks surround the Black & Gold for their trip south, including midfielder Lucas Zelarayán’s continuing injury concern, an allergy to scoring goals and a defense that’s dipping under the pressure.
