🏠 Philadelphia Union: form and statistics
With momentum now brushing in their favor, Philadelphia Union clash with LA Galaxy. Sitting third in the Eastern Conference, with 7 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, the Union have shown resilience and consistency. The recent past is one glorious run, being unbeaten for five matches, with an entertaining spectacle coming in the form of a 2-2 draw with Columbus Crew, the leaders of the conference. Baribo opened the scoring for Philadelphia before homegrown youngster Frankie Westfield struck the very first goal of his career. But in stoppage time, the Columbus midfielder Sean Zawadzki levelled for the visitors.
At home, the Union have been extraordinary, holding the record of D-W-W-W-D at Subaru Park, as they have made a statement over there. They have also gone ahead to score first in every game in the last five matches and have been leading at halftime in four out of the five. It would be unfair to say that matches under their watch are dull, as there have been more than 2.5 goals in four of the last five Union games. On the discipline front, these guys are racking up over 4.5 cards in 8 of their last 10 matches, whereas their corners have stayed below 10.5 in the last five.
In an attempt to shore up the midfield, the Union signed former Union Academy standout and 2022 MLS SuperDraft first overall pick Ben Bender. Bender comes with the experience of 51 MLS appearances with seven goals and one assist. Alongside this, Nick Pariano was signed to a short-term agreement to provide depth ahead of the Columbus Crew match.

✈️ LA Galax: form and statistics
In this very controversial year for the LA Galaxy, it stood on anchor, 0-3-9 in the Western Conference. To be quite honest, worse and worse reasons come into perspective about recent form: they've lost four straight matches, the last one being a 7-0 annihilation by the New York Red Bulls, tying for the worst loss recorded in Galaxy history. Legends are now under scrutiny, Vanney included, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
Away form has been another disaster for the Galaxy as all five away matches have been losses. The last seven games have seen the team conceding first and without an ounce of resistance in keeping a clean sheet. Considering whatever first-halves antics may come from the players, almost always awful, any spirit can only be denied inside six of the past seven games. Then you have the whole injury situation with key players such as Riqui Puig, Joseph Paintsil, and Gabriel Pec all down with injuries.
Historically victorious against the Union, the Galaxy, for once, have gotten away with six out of the past eight encounters. But looking at the form, history is to be set aside.
📝 LA Galaxy Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup: McCarthy; Yoshida, Aude, Nelson, Yamane; Garcés, Cerrillo; Reus, Ramirez, Fagúndez; Berry.
💊 Out: Joseph Paintsil, Gabriel Pec, Riqui Puig.
👤Head coach: Greg Vanney
