DC United have had an inconsistent season so far, in their opening six matches in the MLS. They will be looking to start a stable run when they host Philadelphia Union in the Eastern Conference. Going to the game, DC United are placed 10th with six points while Philadelphia are sixth with eight points. The hosts opened their MLS campaign with a 2-1 win over New York City but went on a downward spiral, losing three straight games. They did recover with a 1-0 win over Chicago Fire, that being their first clean sheet of the season but they were back to losing ways in their last game, a 1-0 loss to Orlando City. In their opening six matches, DC United have managed more than a goal in just one but both their wins have come at home.

Philadelphia have been eliminated from the CONCACAF Champions League and they can afford to put full attention on the MLS. Their 1-1 draw with Atlanta United started off a four game unbeaten run and Philadelphia Union will be gunning for a third win in the league after beating New York RB and Chicago Fire in the last three matches. In between the wins, they drew 1-1 with New England. Philadelphia didn’t start the season strongly; in their opening three matches they managed just one point, but they’ve been growing in strength. Going to this game they’ve earned seven points in the last three. In the last eight MLS meetings between these two, Philadelphia are unbeaten in eight, and have seven wins.
