On Sunday night, the Columbus Crew hosts Atlanta United at Lower.com Field as the Black & Gold look to sweep the season series against the Five Stripes. Sunday’s match, which will be televised nationally on FOX Sports 1, presents an excellent opportunity for the Crew to create space between themselves and the rest of the clubs vying for an Eastern Conference MLS Cup playoff spot.
Atlanta has had an incredibly disappointing season, as the team currently sits 13 in the East. However, despite sitting so low in the table, United still has plenty to play for as the team’s postseason hopes are very much alive.
