REF’s picks

Philadelphia Union arrive on a blistering five-game winning streak and look primed to extend that dominance against Charlotte FC. Despite Charlotte holding recent head-to-head success, the hosts' incredible attacking momentum makes them clear favourites at home.

1. 1Philadelphia have scored 18 goals in their last five matches, showcasing immense offensive confidence.
2. 2Charlotte struggled defensively in their recent 3-1 defeat to Columbus Crew.
3. 3Head-to-head history favours Charlotte slightly, which could keep the match tighter than current form suggests.
