With a win, the Five Stripes will complete a century of MLS regular season wins

Atlanta United were away on the road in the last game in Major League Soccer. They played a 1-1 draw and collected one point in the league table from that trip to New York City FC. The Five Stripes have 10 points after 6 games and sit sixth in the Eastern Conference table.

Philadelphia Union, on the other hand, are on a run of three back-to-back wins. They were also playing away from home last game to face Nashville. A 2-1 win over the Boys in Gold helps them aggregate 12 points on the table. This keeps the Union in second place at the same Conference table as their upcoming hosts.

Players to Watch

Thiago Almada (Atlanta United)

The number 10 of Atlanta United is just 22 years old but he has the most coveted trophy in football in his cabinet. The 2022 FIFA World Cup winner with the Argentina national football team without a doubt is the key player in the Five Stripes squad. Thiago Almada though is yet to pick up pace as he has a goal only after five appearances in MLS 2024. Last season saw 11 goals and 16 assists.

Oliver Semmle (Philadelphia Union)

Goalkeepers in a football team act as hidden warriors. In the case of the Union, Oliver Semmle isn’t much hidden though. The 25-year-old German keeper played 5 games so far in 2024 MLS and has kept his side undefeated. Last game alone Semmle made four important saves whose shots were goal-bound.
