Thiago Almada to Score Anytime
Thiago Almada was the big hero for Atlanta United in their first 2023 MLS game against San Jose Earthquakes. The game on the 26th of February was about to be lost as up until the 93rd minute of the game, Atlanta United were losing 0-1.
Enter Thiago Almada. With a quick-fire brace, he made the result 2-1 in favor of his team, and throughout the next two matches, he capitalized on the momentum and scored two more.
Columbus Crew’s defensive line isn’t as watertight as we’re used to seeing it and we’re sure the 21-year-old attacking midfielder will have his fair share of goalscoring opportunities on Saturday.
Over 3.5 Goals
Seeing as Atlanta United’s last match was a wonderful 5-1 victory for them, we’re sure that with this Columbus Crew vs Atlanta United prediction for four or more goals, you can’t go wrong. With the likes of Thiago Almada and Caleb Wiley on the pitch at the same time, how can you possibly expect a lackluster event?
And it’s not like the head-to-heads don’t support our claim as well. Even the last match between the two sides ended with a very interesting 2-2 draw at Lower.com Field making the game on Saturday even more interesting for everyone involved.

Columbus Crew odds: +160 – 37.0%
Draw odds: +245 – 26.0%
Atlanta United odds: +160 – 37.0%
Despite the draw being the mathematically least likely outcome of this event at +245 (26.0%), we feel that a bet on either team is risky business. With the same exact odds at +160, the two teams have a 37.0% chance of winning on Saturday.
Columbus Crew vs Atlanta United Lineups & Team News
Columbus Crew
The Crew have had one victory, one draw, and two losses since the start of the season. Sure, they’ll try to give Atlanta United a run for their money on the 25th of March but our Columbus Crew vs Atlanta United predictions were clear that such an outcome is unlikely. Coach Wilfried Nancy’s boys hardly impressed anyone with the five shots at target in the 2-1 loss against New York Red Bulls last season.
Predicted lineup – Schulte (GK), Moreira, Quinton, Vallecilla, Sands, Morris, Nagbe, Farsi, Yeboah, Matan & Russell-Rowe
Atlanta United
With 11 goals scored since the start of the season, Atlanta United deserve all the praise coming their way. The team is currently at the top of the table in the Eastern Conference with a comfy two-point lead over key rivals New England Revolution. With three victories and one draw in the first four games, Atlanta United have yet to lose a game this season.
Predicted lineup – Guzan (GK), Purata, Gutman, Cobb, Wiley, Sejdic, Sosa, Ibarra, Lennon, Araujo & Berry

Player to Watch: Caleb Wiley
The most unexpected goalscorer this season is none other than Atlanta United’s Caleb Wiley. The 18-year-old boy-wonder has been marvelous in all areas of the pitch this season. He’s been rock-solid at the back, a constant headache for the midfielders and defenders with his lung-bursting runs down the left, and he’s the 2nd-best scorer in the league with three goals to his name. We expect him to pile on the pressure on Saturday and help make our Columbus Crew vs Atlanta United predictions a success.
