Columbus will face Atlanta United at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday, the team the Crew has played the most since coach Wilfried Nancy took over, starting in the 2023 season. In addition to two scheduled regular-season games, Columbus and Atlanta met in the first round of three MLS Cup Playoffs last year and then in their first game of the 2024 regular season.

November 1, 2023; Columbus, Ohio, USA; Columbus Crew forward Cucho Hernandez (9) celebrates his penalty goal with defender Steven Moreira (31) during the second half of the MLS Cup Playoffs first round match against Atlanta United at Lower.com Field. The Crew won 2-0.

But it’s nearly five months since the Crew last met Atlanta, and both teams have seen roster changes. Crew lost Aidan Morris and Atlanta traded designated players Thiago Almada and Giorgos Giakoumakis. But forward Cucho Hernandez still sees Atlanta as a club Columbus “knows” well and could bounce back against, even if it’s not with a strong offensive performance.
