Philadelphia Union welcomes Minnesota United to Subaru Park in this opening match of the new MLS season. The hosts finished a very creditable second in last year’s final standings in the Eastern Conference although they were 19 points behind the conference winners. Philadelphia Union will have a much tougher season as they lost the services of their leading scorer from last season Kacper Przbylko. His departure will leave a big hole in the attack of Philadelphia Union. The home team had a decent pre-season going undefeated in their three matches with two win and a draw. Philadelphia Union had the second best home record in the league last season and will be hoping to continue with that form in their first match of the season.In four previous matches with Minnesota United they have only managed to win once while losing two and drawing one.

Minnesota United will be looking to have a better season than the last when they finished in fifth position in the Western Conference. They made the playoffs but lost in the first knockout stage. Minnesota United were the only team to have qualified for the playoffs with a negative goal difference. They struggled to score goals and scraped narrow victories. They will also need to shore up their defence against a free scoring Philadelphia Union attack. Minnesota had a very poor preseason in which they managed to only win one of their five matches, drawing three and losing one.
