Score Prediction
The truth is, this is a very evenly matched contest between Columbus Crew and Atlas. Both teams have been inconsistent lately. However, over their last three matches, the Mexican side has won two and lost one, while the Crew has recorded one win, one draw, and one defeat.
Although Columbus are the favorites on paper, it's only fair to say that, in the opening match of the tournament, a draw would be the most likely outcome.
Of course, anything can happen in soccer, but whichever team scores first will likely come out on top.
