Milan Iloski leads the team with one goal, and in his last match, he scored one goal. In all five of their losses, Philly has scored one goal or fewer.

Best Bet: Under

Despite being winless, the Philly defense has been decent. This team is close to getting that first win and Charlotte has been shut out twice in this young season. Charlotte did just score six goals, but four of them were after a red card penalty. Philadelphia will try to get that defense locked in early and maybe have the ball bounce their way.
