As crazy as it might seem the MLS season is one-third of the way through the 2021 season. For the select Union fans that filled out our prediction form, it’s time for a check-in. Remember this is for the chance to win Philly Sports Network swag and to see how you stack up against our Doop by the River gang predicting the Union’s results. Here’s a look at your Union predictions one-third of the way through the 2021 season!
Your Union predictions so far
Through 11 games, Union fans have experienced a whole lot of emotions. Tough home losses. Big wins. Frustrating draws. Glorious bangers. It’s been quite the first third of the season. The Union sits in Third place just four points off the top. Could we see them make a run for that top spot with two-thirds of the season to go? We’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, here is a look at the predictions you made before the 2021 season started.
