The Philadelphia Union came into their match with Atlanta United on Saturday afternoon having won their last five matches in a row. A win for the Union in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where they have historically struggled, would clinch the top-seed in the Eastern Conference for MLS Playoffs. Not to mention, three points for the men from Chester would go a long way in extending their lead over LAFC in the race for the Supporters Shield and securing home field advantage throughout the MLS Playoffs. Meanwhile, a win for Atlanta would position themselves in the sixth seed in the East, heading into the last couple weeks of the regular season.
