DC United host Philadelphia Union in a battle of last versus first. The team from the capital are in a really bad patch of form at the moment. They have lost six of their last eight games while they have only two wins from their last eighteen. Their attack is quite poor currently as well, with DC failing to score in their last four encounters. They host a Philadelphia Union side in top form, whom they have only beaten once at home in their last eight home meetings, while they were thrashed in the return away fixture against them, losing resoundingly with 7-0. 

It is sunny in Philadelphia at the moment. The visitors are top of the Eastern Conference, having won six of their last eight MLS games. They might have lost their most recent game against Dallas but are in top scoring form, having scored ten goals in their last four fixtures. The key strength of the Philly side, which is also what has kept them five points ahead of second-placed Montreal, is their solidity in defence. Philadelphia have the best defence in the division, having conceded just twenty goals in their twenty-six league games, while they are the third-best team in the Conference away from home, and boast the best away defence too. If that was not enough already, Jim Curtin’s side have won four of their last five meetings against DC United, with an aggregate score of 13-4.
