Philadelphia Union and Charlotte meet in MLS, with the hosts having just thrashed their last opponent 5-0, while the visitors have just lost 1-3. The two teams are separated by just one point in the table (45 and 46), so this match is a direct measuring stick between two sides chasing each other near the top of the table. Philadelphia Union are on a winning run, scoring frequently and from a variety of sources, but their defence is open enough to let opponents back into games on many occasions. Charlotte's form is up and down, with two wins and two losses in their last five, but they are still a team that is not far behind and rarely gets blown out. If Charlotte score first, the game should force the hosts to open up and attack harder, and the visitors' counter-attacking rhythm will become a key weapon that keeps the game from ending easily.
