Philly’s aim should be simple: Win the ball in midfield and attack with fluidity.
Match previews
Preview: Union at Colorado Rapids
Two conference leaders meet in Denver, but one will be missing key players and the other may rest some stars. What kind of match will we see?
Preview: Union at Orlando City SC
Late victories have both teams looking to build on recent momentum, but Orlando is a tough place to play and Philly needs to rest players ahead of tough tests against Colorado and Columbus.
Preview: Union vs DC United
DC United is winless on the road, Philly is averaging two goals per match at home. The Union should win on Friday if they can control Luciano Acosta and create space behind DC’s two-man midfield
Preview: Union at Montreal Impact
Montreal scores through Piatti but dominates by involving Harry Shipp. Philly has to play through the midfield quickly to catch their holding midfielders out of position.
Preview: Union vs LA Galaxy
The Galaxy have been scoring at will lately, but they have yet to spend much time with Gerrard, Keane, and Dos Santos together. Will it all come together against Philly’s aggressive defense?
