My Prediction
Philadelphia Union by 1Ah, nothing like some footy fun to fill our day! Let's examine our competitors, shall we? Atlanta United FC and Philadelphia Union are squaring off.
Starting off with the goalkeepers - Philadelphia has Andre Blake with a 7.37 rating and 9 marvelous saves, and Andrew Rick, not far behind with a 6.6 rating but only one save to his name. Atlanta is not without its defenses either. Brad Guzan, Atlanta's knight of the net, flaunts a decent 6.87 rating and 14 saves. Not too shabby, eh?
Now, looking at our stars on the field, Philadelphia parades quite an impressive lineup. Danley Jean Jacques, Quinn Sullivan, and Tai Baribo – all above the 7-ranking mark and boasting goals to their name. Jean Jacques with 2, Sullivan with 1, and Baribo also with 2. Also, they've got good accurate passing percentages, keeping the ball in desirable territory.
Atlanta United FC offers some stiff competition though, don't you worry. Lauding Miguel Almirón who's flaunting a 7.05 rating and a goal to his name. We've also got Pedro Amador who, despite having no goals, has a higher accurate pass % than Almirón with 84.9%. Good movement there, folks.
Examining the past face-offs, it's a mixed bag. A range of victories, draws, and losses. However, don't forget Philadelphia recently handed Atlanta a smackdown with a 3-0 victory in their last encounter.
When it comes to regular season records, Philadelphia clearly holds an impressive form than Atlanta. Philadelphia stands at 7-2-3 while Atlanta trails behind with 2-4-6. Remember folks, form is temporary, class is permanent.
Diving into recent results for both teams, Philadelphia has had a few hiccups but their performance against Atlanta stands out. Meanwhile, Atlanta seems to be stuck in a rut with a recent string of losses.
Based on all thus chatter, if you're the betting kind, given Philadelphia's remarkable form and the noticeable weakness in Atlanta’s play of late, I’d say the edge goes to Philadelphia. However, football can be a funny game and upsets are always on the menu, but you here heard it first.
