On Saturday, two teams struggling to put it all together will try to prove they are heading in the right direction.
Kansas City has looked good defensively, but as yet to put it all together going forward. The Union need to match their opponent’s level of defensive organization to compete on Sunday.
The Union should take three points for a struggling Chicago side that will be without two of its designated players. A smash and grab will be nice, but can Philly actually control the match?
Separated by 4 points after two weeks, Philadelphia welcomes Blas Perez and FC Dallas to town in a battle of unbeatens.
The Union believe they are a different team in 2015. This is their first opportunity to prove it.
After a thrilling 3-3 match at PPL Park in mid-June, Colorado embarked on an epic collapse. New holding midfielders should shore up MLS’s worst defense, but Wenger, Aristeguieta, and Le Toux will give Shane O’Neill and company an early test.
The Union will face a motivated Crew team fighting for third place finish in the East.
With the playoffs out of the picture, the Union must show they want to retain fans’ respect with an energetic and prideful performance.
The first of three must-wins for the Union comes against Columbus in PPL Park on Saturday. Can Philly take advantage of Federico Higuain’s suspension?
