Philadelphia Union are flying. Atlanta United FC arrive in their path.
Philadelphia Union take on Atlanta United FC in the MLS. Let's break down what our data says about this one.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Philadelphia Union will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Atlanta United FC travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
Both sets of fans can dream here: this is two in-form sides on a collision course. Philadelphia Union come in on a L-D-L-L-D run, Atlanta United FC have gone L-L-D-L-W, and neither will fear the other. When form meets form like this, something has to give, and whichever way it breaks, it should be a proper occasion. Philadelphia Union's home form is particularly impressive right now. They're performing above their season average on their own turf.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Philadelphia Union create chances worth 1.9 a game (and give up chances worth 1.6), leaving them +0.4 a game on the balance. Atlanta United FC create 1.3 (giving up 1.1) for a balance of +0.3. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Philadelphia Union average 1.7 goals per game and Atlanta United FC manage 1.1. Combined that's just 2.8. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Interestingly, the chances suggest more goals than the headline number. Philadelphia Union and Atlanta United FC together create chances worth 3.2 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
