LAST MEETING

The last meeting between the two sides took place recently in July at Subaru Park and saw Philadelphia Union claim a 2-1 win with Kacper Przybyłko scoring the winner in the 83rd minute. You have to go back to April 2017 to find the last time DC United were victorious in an MLS meeting between the two sides.

THE PREDICTION

A 2-1 defeat at home to Atlanta United means that DC United have lost their last three matches in the league, and that run of form means they have slipped towards the bottom of the playoff area. Their ten defeats is the third most in the Eastern Conference, highlighting they are either good or bad with draws seemingly very rare. Philadelphia Union have previously struggled with CONCACAF Champions League distractions but they have recovered quite well from their trip to Mexico a couple of weeks ago so an away win seems likely here given the form of the hosts.
