Atlanta United FC
Atlanta won the US Open Cup Final this past Tuesday and will look to remain at the top of the East when they visit Philadelphia. Atlanta has not been great on the road this year, but they won their last away match over Orlando City SC and are full of confidence after lifting another trophy this past week.
Atlanta looked very sloppy in their last away game against Orlando City. They ended up with just 1 goal, but could have easily scored 2 or 3. They need to focus on finishing their chances against a much better Union club. They score an average of 1.31 goals per game on the road and it will only be a matter of time before Josef Martinez finds the back of the net again. I think they will need at least 2 goals to win this game.

The defending also looked sloppy against Orlando, but somehow managed to keep a clean sheet. They gave Orlando so many chances, but Brad Guzan was like a brick wall in goal. I think the Union could score in this game, but the way that Guzan has been playing, 1 should be all that they get.
Philadelphia Union
The Union are tied with Atlanta for the top spot, but are behind on goal differential. They have also played one more game than Atlanta, so they really need to win here at home. They have 9 wins at home this year, so they are a tough place to play at.
Philadelphia scored 3 goals against DC United in their last game. They average 2.21 goals per game at home and should find at least one on Atlanta. However, I do not think one goal will be enough to win, so the key for the Union will be scoring 2 or more.

The Union may have only allowed 1 goal to DC United, but they are about to be tested against Atlanta. The Union must make containing Josef Martinez a key. He can score at pretty much anytime so he will be focus number one. The Union only allow about 1 goal per game at home, and if they can limit Atlanta, they will take first place back.
