📰 Team News: Philadelphia Union

Ian Glavinovich (Knee injury) and Markus Anderson (Ankle injury) are not available for Philadelphia Union gaffer Bradley Carnell.

It’s our opinion that The U could line up in a 4-4-2 system in the match and select Andrew Rick, Frankie Westfield, Nathan Harriel, Jakob Glesnes, Kai Wagner, Quinn Sullivan, Danley Jean Jacques, Jovan Lukic, Indiana Vassilev, Bruno Damiani and Tai Baribo.

📰 Team News: Los Angeles Galaxy

Owing to an otherwise available group, there is only the lone fitness worry for the Los Angeles Galaxy boss Greg Vanney to contend with. Riqui Puig (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.

We believe The Galactics seem likely to utilise a 4-4-2 lineup, starting the game with John McCarthy, Miki Yamane, Zanka, Carlos Garcés, John Nelson, Diego Fagundez, Marco Reus, Lucas Sanabria, Julián Aude, Miguel Berry and Christian Ramirez.

🔮 Prediction

Philadelphia Union will, in all likelihood, be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

In contrast, Los Angeles Galaxy are also probably going to find it difficult to make a breakthrough but do we see them scoring here.

We’re predicting a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning score for Philadelphia Union at the end of the match.
