Philadelphia Union vs Atlanta United Prediction and Betting Tips | April 19th 2025
Philadelphia Union will host Atlanta United at Subaru Park on Saturday in another round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The hosts will be hoping to get back to winning ways after a disappointing few weeks.
Philadelphia won four of their opening five league games but have failed to win any of their subsequent three, most recently suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to NY City in a closely contested affair at Citi Field. The hosts failed to make the playoffs last season and will need to get back in form soon if they are to have a better season than they did last year.
Atlanta United were slightly better last season, making it to the Eastern Conference semifinals, but have struggled to get results early in this season, with only two wins out of eight. The visitors were wasteful in front of goal and hit the woodwork twice in their 1-0 defeat to New England Revolution last time out and will need to step their game up in the coming weeks to push up the league table.

Philadelphia Union vs Atlanta United Prediction
The two sides are closely matched going into the weekend but the Union will receive a slight edge from their home advantage and hope it will be enough to get all three points.
The Five Stripes will need to improve on their poor defensive form and convert more of their chances to get a result this weekend. They are, however, winless on the road this season and could lose this one.
