Atlanta United vs Philadelphia Union Prediction: This should be an interesting clash!

Atlanta United had been a difficult team to beat for some time until their last game that ended in a 4-0 defeat against New York Red Bulls. Now turn their attention to Philadelphia Union as they try to respond with a win.

Philadelphia Union are not far from their best as their league records shows, and there is a huge expectation on them to prevail against Atlanta United in this game. They won their last game 4-1 against Inter Miami FC and they will hope to continue with another win against a side that recently suffered a huge defeat.

Both teams are separated by 5 points on the MLS table, as Philadelphia Union are 4th with 34 points while Atlanta United are 9th with 29 points.

Atlanta United ‘s last game surely has them on the edge and needing a good recovery. They had been unbeaten in 7 matches in all competitions before the 4-0 defeat to New York Red Bulls last week. In their last 5 matches, they recorded 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat. They played back-to-back draws against New England Revolution and Los Angeles before grabbing a 3-1 win over DC United. They played a draw with New York City before losing their last match against New York Red Bulls.

While playing at home, they have proven to be a very solid team as the record shows they won 6, drew 3 and lost 1 of their 10 home games this season. In their last 5 games they had 1 defeat, 2 wins and 2 draws. They lost to Charlotte FC and then won 4-0 against Colorado. Then they played New England Revolution to a draw and won against DC United and then held New York City to a 2-2 draw at home.

Atlanta United were terrible in their last game against New York Red Bull and as a result they lost 4-0. They conceded two first half goals from Daniel Edelman and Cristian Casseres Jr in the 32nd and 45th minute. And in the second half the hosts moved further ahead with 2 more goals from Frankie Amaya in the 77th and 90th minute to seal the 4-0 win over Atlanta United.

Team streak: without a clean sheet (3), more than 2.5 goals (4/5), both teams scoring (5/7), more than 4.5 cards (4/5).

Philadelphia Union are the favorites here and there is every expectation that they should show their quality and come out with a win in this game. They recorded a big win last week against Inter Miami CF to end their 2-match winless streak and there’s no reason why they can’t continue with another win here. Their last 5 games ended in 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. They had back-to-back wins against Charlotte FC, Montreal and Inter Miami CF, but lost to San Jose Earthquakes and Orlando City SC.

Their away form is questionable however as they were only able to pick up 11 points from a possible 27. They had 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats in 11 home games played so far this season. In their last 5 games they had back-to-back wins against New York Red Bulls, Colorado Rapids and New York City, but then they lost to San Jose (2-1) and played Orlando City SC to a 2-2 draw.

Philadelphia Union were in rampant form when they faced Inter Miami CF at home last weekend and as a result, they won the game 4-1. Jakob Glesnes, Julian Carranza and Leon Flach scored 3 goals in the first half and Inter Miami grabbed one goal from Robert Taylor in the 50th minute, but Philadelphia went ahead to grab another with an own goal from David Ruiz. The match ended 4-1 at full time.
