Where to watch?
Why Bet on the Atlanta United?
Atlanta United comes into this matchday with the firm conviction of returning to the level of play that led them to be fighting for the top of the Eastern Conference at the beginning of the 2023 MLS season. However, the team has had many difficulties getting results, so much so that they currently have eight draws in 20 games.
United is in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings, with 7 wins, 8 draws, and 5 losses. In addition, they are one of the best offensive teams throughout the season, with 37 goals scored. However, their defense has also left much to be desired (especially in the last few games), as they have conceded 35 goals.
In the last two matches played, Atlanta has had many defensive problems, and, as a result, they are coming from a 2-2 draw against NYC FC and a 0-4 loss against New York RB.
Why Bet on the Philadelphia Union?
For their part, Philadelphia Union is having a really good season, and, thanks to that, they are in fourth place in the MLS Eastern Conference.
Currently, the team has a record of 10 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses, and they have scored the most goals (34) among the top 4 in the conference standings. In addition, it is also worth noting that Philadelphia has shown a consistent defense, allowing 20 goals in 19 games played.
The Union has shown a high level of play in their last six games. However, a 1-2 loss to SJ Earthquakes and a 2-2 draw against Orlando City tarnish its spectacular record. On the other hand, it is worth noting that the team comes into this matchday after crushing Inter Miami 4-1.
