Philadelphia Union have eyes on the top of the Eastern Conference standings ahead of their trip to Columbus Crew. The home team has 21 points, in ninth place while Philadelphia are third with 29 points – the same tally as league leaders Montreal Impact. Columbus Crew are coming from a 2-1 away win over Toronto, their fourth straight unbeaten outing and the third time in four matches that they have scored first. Even in their undefeated run, it is key to note that Columbus have managed just one clean sheet in the last five matches. The hosts seem to have suffered a lot more at home. They take into this game a run of three losses in the last five home matches. They’ve failed to score in the three losses and have just one win in five home matches.

Philadelphia Union are coming from a 1-0 loss at Chicago Fire. They will be looking to return to winning ways, after the loss in the last league game and key to this will be building up on their scoring run. Philadelphia have failed to score in just one of the last five matches but again, they have just one clean sheet in those five matches. Both teams have scored in three of their last four matches. Philadelphia’s away run isn’t great; they get into this fixture having managed just one win in their last seven games on the road. They have one clean sheet in five away matches and in two of the five they’ve conceded twice.
