Philadelphia Union vs Atlanta United FC
📖 The Preview
Philadelphia Union look the more reliable side here and a 2-0 home win feels right. Atlanta arrive in rough shape with a lengthy absentee list including Sergio Santos, E. Latte Lath, S. Alzate, P. Amador, and A. Fortune all missing, which seriously limits what they can offer going forward. Union have the home advantage and the stronger head-to-head record, and with Atlanta having lost four of their last six before a brief uptick, Philadelphia should have enough to keep a clean sheet and nick this comfortably.
