📋 Team News: Philadelphia Union

There’s just a single fitness concern for the Philadelphia Union gaffer Bradley Carnell to contend with from a near full-strength set of players. Ian Glavinovich (Knee injury) will miss out.

We are thinking that The U look set to go for a 4-4-2 formation for the game, handing starts to Andrew Rick, Frankie Westfield, Jakob Glesnes, Olwethu Makhanya, Kai Wagner, Alejandro Bedoya, Jesús Bueno, Jovan Lukic, Ben Bender, Chris Donovan and Bruno Damiani.

🗞️ Team News: Charlotte FC

Charlotte FC boss Dean Smith has a number of players out of action. Brandon Cambridge (Muscle injury), Nimfasha Berchimas (Foot injury), Jahlane Forbes (Muscle injury) and Nathan Byrne (Neck injury) are not ready for selection.

From our viewpoint, Charlotte FC seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for David Bingham, J. Marshall-Rutty, Adilson Malanda, Andrew Privett, Souleyman Doumbia, Ashley Westwood, Brandt Bronico, Liel Abada, Pep Biel, Wilfried Zaha and Idan Toklomati.

✨ Prediction

We believe that Philadelphia Union will, in all likelihood, be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.

At the other end, Charlotte FC may well find it hard to get a goal of their own although we do think that they will probably end up converting at least once.

We reckon that it will be a controlled 3-1 winning margin for Philadelphia Union at full-time.
