Atlanta Utd vs Philadelphia Union Match Preview

Atlanta Utd is ranked at 9th place in the Eastern Conference with 39 points and comes after three wins and two losses over the last five matches. Their quest towards securing a spot in the Championship group continues as they now sit only two points behind the 7th place. With a three-pointer here they could finally break into it.

With 46 goals they have proven to have a very good offensive side and in the last five matches scored a total of 10 goals. This means at least two goals per game while managing to find the back of the net in each duel. They have been scoring with consistency for nine consecutive games now.

Martinez has been their best scorer with 8 goals - 4 assists followed by Cisneros 7 goals - 1 assist and Almada 6 goals - 10 assists.

Philadelphia Union, on the other side, is ranked at 1st place in the Eastern Conference with 63 points and comes after five consecutive wins over the last five encounters. Considering the 7-point distance from the 2nd place they have almost secured the 1st spot which means they go directly to the quarter-finals of the playoffs. Winning in any of the remaining three games would secure it for them.

With 68 goals they have the best offensive side in the league, averaging more than two goals per game. In the last five duels, they scored a total of 23 goals which means more than 4 goals per game. This is something really impressive and they already got three players on double digits.

Gazdag is leading the list with 19 goals - 9 assists followed by Carranza 14 goals - 9 assists and Uhre 12 goals - 6 assists.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Atlanta Utd is in desperate need of points because the regular season is ending and they must win as much as they can. That is why I expect them to play in attack as they have no reason to sit back and defend. Philadelphia Union has been playing entertaining football all season and I guess they will keep going even now. Both teams scored a goal in three of their last five h2h encounters.
