Two things to watch for as Columbus Crew host Atlanta United ... (The Columbus Dispatch)

As the Crew prepare to host Atlanta United, missing several key players from the lineup, here's what to watch for in the matchup.

Degenek is with Australia for two friendlies against Ecuador, and that leaves a deficit of experience in the heart of the Crew's defense. "Miloš is an integral part to that defense and the philosophy we play," wingback Will Sands said. "However, I think everyone here has full confidence in the players that can and will step in. Columbus 1, Atlanta 1: In a game with this much lineup uncertainty, both teams will spend large portions of the first half feeling each other out. Of the three, Degenek is the only one with significant professional experience at center back; Quinton's first professional season was last year with Crew 2, and Moreira I don’t know if I’m going to stay with a back three or a back two. If they keep the same setup on Saturday, there's a gap next to Matan in the lineup, without an obvious choice to fill it. Forward Christian Ramirez is available for the first time since joining the Crew in January. For the first three games, prior to Hernandez's injury, the Crew played with two attacking midfielders — Zelarayan and Alex Matan — beneath the striker. But this is an injury in the knee. He was a late scratch from the lineup Saturday against the New York Red Bulls with knee pain, and on Tuesday Hernandez announced he'll be out several weeks with a knee injury. There are no one-for-one swaps the Crew can make to seamlessly replace Zelarayan and Hernandez.

Lastly, the Crew needs to dictate how the game is going to be played and not let Atlanta get comfortable.
