We said: Charlotte FC 1-2 Philadelphia Union

 Charlotte will be a desperate team heading into this encounter as one more defeat would eliminate them from playoff contention, but the Union have plenty to play for as well, including the fact that a victory would guarantee they finish on top of the Eastern Conference standings. Look for the home side to put a lot of effort into shutting down this dangerous Union attack, but the problem for Charlotte is that there are too many lethal finishers for them to track, while Philly can defend with the very best in MLS.
