How to watch the Major League Soccer match between Atlanta United and Philadelphia Union, as well as kick-off time and team news.
Atlanta United host Philadelphia Union at Mercedes-Benz Stadium this weekend in Major League Soccer (MLS), with both teams entering the match on sharply contrasting trajectories.
Atlanta United have endured a difficult campaign under Ronny Deila, sitting third-bottom in the table with just 11 points and only two wins all season-both coming at home. The Five Stripes are winless in their last seven league outings, most recently salvaging a 1-1 draw at Austin FC thanks to a stoppage-time equalizer, but overall, their performances have been underwhelming, and they remain just four points above bottom-placed CF Montreal.
In stark contrast, Philadelphia Union arrive in Georgia full of confidence, currently second in the Eastern Conference with 26 points and unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions, winning five of those. Their most recent outing was a dramatic 3-2 win over LA Galaxy, sealed by a last-gasp goal from Tai Baribo, who now leads the team with ten goals this season.
