Columbus
Atlanta United
  • Alexandru Matan felt something in his quad last week but is back to full training.
  • Steven Moreira is back from AFCON, but it's unsure if he will be able to start right away.
  • Derrick Etienne Jr. has an injured ankle and is out for at least four weeks.
  • Edwin Mosquera is out for at least four weeks and is currently getting his green card.

Prediction

  • A rematch of last season's playoff series where Columbus won two games to one.
  • The final two matches were barnburners with plenty of offense as they both ended 4-2.
  • Columbus are looking to repeat as MLS Cup champs, while Atlanta is looking to hoist the trophy again as they did in 2018.
