Philadelphia Union
The Union continue to sit on top of the East with 45 points. They lead Atlanta by 3 points, but also have one more game played than they do. Because of that extra game they have played, it makes their margin of error much smaller. They have won 5 road games this year in 13 matches. This is pretty decent and proves that they can win on the road.
The Union took down the Dynamo in their last game by scoring 2 goals. They average 1.54 goals per game on the road, so they should be able to find at least one goal in this game. Kacper Prybylko is their leading scorer at 11, so look for him to be heavily involved if the Union are going to win this game.

The Union defending has been decent this season, but not great. They have allowed a total of 38 goals on the season. They allow an average of 1.85 goals per game on the road, so they must keep the Fire under two goals. Luckily, they have allowed 2 goals in total over their last two games, so this should be very obtainable.
Chicago Fire
The Fire lost at Portland this past Wednesday, but not before they put up a real fight. They are in 10th in the East, but have 30 points. Because the East is so close together, the Fire are actually only 3 points behind a playoff spot. That is just wild considering how up and down they have been. That said, they must win their home games if they are to have a legitimate shot at making the playoffs.

The Fire have started to score goals more frequently and even put 2 on the board in Portland. They are averaging 2.07 goals per game at home, so a goal is very likely in this spot. On the other side, they have been playing better defensively. Specifically at home they allow an average of 1.14 goals per game. I look for a better defensive effort in this game, especially if they want to beat the top team in the East.
