The defence is less reliable, though: 1.6 conceded per game, which creates risks even against cautious opponents. Four wins, one defeat and a draw from their last five - that's a solid run, and it shows they can keep picking up points even when the backline isn't at its best.

Atlas play a very pragmatic brand of football. They've averaged just 0.8 goals scored per game across their last ten matches, while conceding exactly one per game. Weak attack, solid defence - and that pattern is even more pronounced away from home: 6 of their last 7 away games finished under 2.5 goals. Over their last five matches they've won twice and lost three times, but the style stays the same regardless of the result. Compact and closed.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Two teams with different approaches here. Columbus Crew tend to be productive at home, but Atlas on the road consistently keep the scoring to a minimum. The visitors' trend backs that up - low average output and a compact defensive shape away from home. Six of their last seven away matches ended with few chances at either end and a low goal count. We think it plays out the same way again, with Atlas's organization on the road and their inability to contribute going forward against a strong opponent keeping things tight. The bet is total goals under 2.5. Predicted score - 1:0 to the home side.
