Atlanta United have been scoring - and conceding - freely in the MLS

Columbus Crew could deliver more goals at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the MLS tonight, says Tobias Gourlay

  • Back +3.5 Goals


Atlanta Utd v Columbus Crew
Sunday 00:30 (Live on MLS Season Pass)

In Ireland last night, Shelbourne notched a second clean sheet in 13 attempts to beat Dundalk 1-0 and take down our BTTS bet.

We're in the States today for the MLS game between Atlanta United and Columbus Crew. Both teams are well placed to qualify for the post-season and will want to push on to claim some home advantage for the playoffs.

Columbus won the reverse fixture 6-1. Three of their last four head-to-heads have served up Over 3.5 Goals and we reckon there could be more goals tonight.

Atlanta are favourites to exact some revenge, having won 10/16 at home this term including four of the last six. The key thing for us is their good scoring record: they've scored in all 16 games, hit 2+ in 11/16 and 3+ in 7/16 including three of the last four.

At the back, Gonzalo Pineda's men have managed only four clean sheets. Eight of the last 11 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium have delivered Over 3.5 Goals.

Columbus can bring goals of their own to the table. The Crew have netted 2+ on 7/11 road trips including five of the last seven. Wilfried Nancy's men haven't managed a clean sheet in those 11 games, with six hitting Over 3.5 Goals in total. At an odds-against price, that's our bet on this one.
