We believe The Five Stripes might elect for a 5-3-2 system, choosing Brad Guzan, Brooks Lennon, Noah Cobb, Derrick Williams, Stian Gregersen, Pedro Amador, Ajani Fortune, Dax McCarty, Bartosz Slisz, Saba Lobzhanidze and Daniel Rios.

🔮 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Philadelphia Union will most probably dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

Conversely, Atlanta United will not find it easy to find the back of the net but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be hitting back at some stage here, too.

We’re predicting a 3-1 winning margin for Philadelphia Union at the end of this one.
