Saturday evening at Subaru Park the Philadelphia Union will clash with Charlotte FC in an all MLS skirmish in the opening group stage match in the 2024 Leagues Cup.
These two combatants have faced each other six times in their history, with the head-to-head as even as you can get as each has defeated the other twice and have shared the points on two occasions.
It was a perfect home match last weekend as the Philadelphia Union secured a clean-sheet victory over Nashville SC winning by three goals.
With the important three points the Union obtained, not only leapfrogged over Nashville in the East table, but heading into the break they just one point shy from a playoff spot.
Saturday's shutout was the club's sixth clean sheet in 25 MLS matches played this campaign.
Meanwhile, Charlotte FC picked up a valuable road point against Austin FC last weekend in a 2-2 draw. The Crowns have cooled off a bit after a brief successful stretch of collecting wins, now in their last five matches they have secured maximum points once.
Heading into the weekends encounter, Charlotte will be performing in its sixth away match in their last seven games.

Philadelphia Union vs. Charlotte FC Betting Prediction
Philadelphia Union Preview
The 2023 Leagues Cup was a successful run for the Union as they made it to the semi-finals. Philadelphia bowed out to Inter Miami which set up a third-place fixture with Liga MX heavyweights, Monterrey. The U soundly defeated Monterrey 3-0 to capture bronze, solidifying that the top three finishers in the 2023 Leagues Cup were MLS squads.
Having himself a day, attacking midfielder Daniel Gazdag went into superstar mode garnering up a hat trick last weekend. With his performance, he now has amassed 14 goals in the regular season, which has him three behind the league leader. If the Union want to make another deep run, they can’t afford to have Gazdag disappear on the scoresheet.
Not as successful of a run as the Union, Charlotte did make some noise reaching the quarterfinals in the 2023 edition of the Leagues Cup. The Crowns accrued results from FC Dallas, Necaxa, Cruz Azul, and the Houston Dynamo before exiting the tournament thanks to the eventual champions, Inter Miami.
Ranked near the bottom of MLS in goals per game average, Charlotte is right there registering 1.2 goals per match. Patrick Agyemang, Kerwin Vargas and Liel Abada are the top three scorers on this roster, who will determine the club's success in the tournament. The trio of players account for more than 50 percent of the Crown's offence currently in the 2024 MLS campaign.
Charlotte FC aren’t a juggernaut on offence but it doesn’t mean they can’t fulfill their duties up front trying to breach the keeper. The Crowns have managed to bag a goal in four of their last five matches, and throughout the year have found the back of the in 19 of 25 games. The Union are more than capable of busting one between the sticks scoring on 21 occasions in 13 home games this year. Both sides have met twice this year, and both teams failed to score on each occasion, but think Saturday evening that trend changes and both clubs get on the scoreboard.
