Match Preview

Philadelphia Union vs D.C. United

The match would be played at Subaru Park on the 9th of July.
Philadelphia Union and Columbus Crew played to a scoreless MLS draw before this match.

Philadelphia Union had a 35 percent possession advantage and made 4 efforts on goal, of which 2 were successful.

Columbus Crew made 16 efforts at goal against them, with 5 of those shots finding the back of the net. 5 of the last 6 games in which Philadelphia Union participated saw fewer than three goals per game.

In terms of goal distribution during this time, competing teams netted a total of 4, while Philadelphia Union amassed a total of 6.

D.C. United will enter this match off of a 3-5 Major League Soccer victory over Orlando City. D.C. United had a 27 percent possession advantage in that contest and made 9 attempts on goal, scoring on six of them.

Taxiarchis Fountas (5′, 8′, 51′), Kimarni Smith (74′), and Nigel Robertha (96′) scored goals for D.C. United. Looking at their recent results, D.C. United has allowed goals in 5 of their last 6 games, and 12 goals have been scored against them overall. D.C. United’s defence has shown its weaknesses. Of course, that pattern won’t necessarily continue into this game.

Examining their previous head-to-head matchups dating back to August 24, 2019, we can see that Philadelphia Union has won 4 of these games while D.C. United has won 1, with 1 match being drawn.

During those matchups, 21 goals were scored between them, with 13 for The U and 8 for Black-and-Red. That equals 3.5 goals per game on average.

The last league match between these teams took place on MLS Match Day 29 on August 29, 2021, and was won by D.C. United 3-1 by Philadelphia Union.

Philadelphia Union made 2 efforts on goal against them, with 1 of those shots finding the back of the net. Rubiel Vazquez served as the referee for the game.

In eleven of the last 14 MLS home games involving the Philadelphia Union, under 2.5 goals have been the rule.

Anyone anticipating a drama is going to be quite disappointed because DC United has kept things close recently, with 12 of their past 14 meetings at this level producing no more than a couple of goals.

There haven’t been many thrilling games at the home stadium for the Philadelphia Union in the previous six MLS games because at least one of the two goalkeepers has kept a clean sheet in five of those contests.

DC United’s recent 17 away games at this level only featured four goals at each end, which doesn’t give them much hope.
