Orlando City SC vs Philadelphia Union Match Preview

 

Philadelphia Union face Orlando City SC at the Inter&Co Stadium on a midweek match day. Coming off a loss against New England Revolution, Union hopes to score some points before the World Cup break. Both Orlando and the Union currently sit at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with Orlando having the edge. Even if Union win today's game, they'll still be bottom of the table. Union have now gone 5 games straight without a win, earning 3 draws along the way. 


What to Expect

Both teams have been struggling massively recently as they both sit bottom of the table but Orlando's form recently has been decent. They've won 3 of their last 5 games whilst the boys in blue are winless in their last 5. Union has been benching Damiani more often than not recently so we'll probably see Cavan Sullivan starting once more. His brother Quinn has been closer than ever on his long recovery and we could see him playing soon. The World Cup break should be perfect for him as it'll give more time to recover. It is still unsure whether Frankie Westfield will be playing today or not as we saw him limping off the field last Saturday.

Injury Report

Jesus Bueno (ankle), Eddy Davis III (hamstring), Japhet Sery (shoulder), Phillip Ndinga (hamstring), Quinn Sullivan (knee) 

Score Prediction

Union have showed flashes of brilliance against top 5 teams recently and could still salvage a playoff run. This Orlando team is very random as it has pulled off crazy results this season including a 4-3 win against Inter Miami after trailing by 3 goals. I predict a goal full game where it ends Orlando City SC 2-3 Philadelphia Union
