May the 4th be with you! Philadelphia Union celebrate Star Wars weekend by facing Nashville SC at home. Nashville enter this game top of the league whilst Union sit at the very bottom where they've sat for the past 3 weeks now. Usually we would be calling home advantage but Union have managed to only score 1 point across 5 home games now. Our form has not been great coming into this game and we need our strikers to start striking.
What to Expect
This will be a matter of damage limitation. Our defense hasn't exactly been bad and we haven't been conceding lots of goals. We currently sit tied for 8th across the Eastern Conference in terms of goals conceded despite being bottom of the table. Our biggest loss has been by 2 goals. Leaving this game with any points will be a huge win regardless of whether we'll still be bottom of the table or not. We are definitely not the worst team in the MLS currently and i'd even say that we're playoff worthy if we just get everything together. We've been lost for the past 10 games with every part of the squad not doing what we need to. The biggest anchor has certainly been the strikers. Damiani especially just hasn't been able to contribute to the very thing we signed him for. Most expensive signing in club history for what exactly.Injury Report
Sal Olivas (Ankle), Agustin Anello (Hamstring), Quinn Sullivan (ACL Recovery), and Stas Korzeniowski (Ankle).
Score Predictions
This is by far the least hope I've gone into a game this season. Nashville is such a well rounded team and it's no shock that they're top of the table. I expect Union 0-3 Nashville. May the 4th be with the boys in blue and guide them to some shocking points.
