Hoping to extend their advantage at the top of the Eastern Conference, a free-scoring Atlanta United side will welcome Columbus crew to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the early hours on Sunday morning.

Starting with Sundays hosts, although they may have hit a rough patch at the start of July, Atlanta have bounced back and are still the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. After 24 MLS games this season, United have won 14, drawn six and lost four, scoring 50 and conceding 28 in return, Atlanta now hold the best-attacking record in either conference. As for their recent form, now unbeaten in their last five and scoring two or more in four of their past five, one man to watch is MLS top scorer Josef Martinez, the Atlanta forward already has 26 goals this season and now has 12 in his last seven.

As for Columbus, although they may have endured an inconsistent second half of the season, The Crew still remain in position to secure a playoff position. After 24 MLS games this season, Columbus have won 11, drawn six and lost seven, scoring 31 and conceding 29 in return. With a points tally of 39, the visitors now hold a 10 point buffer from slipping out of the Top Six. As for their recent form, although they have now won their last three on the bounce, Columbus have shipped 10 in their last five and will drastically struggle to keep out Martinez and co.
