Philadelphia Union is back home at Subaru Park on Wednesday night for an exciting match up against Toronto FC. The match presented by Malamut Law is one you won’t want to miss with the action on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV!
Wednesday’s match kicks off a busy but important homestand for the Boys in Blue as they find themselves in eighth place in the Eastern Conference table. Right above them sits the Canadian side with 22 points earned making the clash a real six pointer. Philly comes into the match after extending their unbeaten road record to eight with an intense scoreless draw at Charlotte FC over Memorial Day Weekend.
With a strong road form, the Union look to carry that momentum to Subaru Park where they have been uncharacteristically prone to drop points. Defense has carried the way for the Union with back-to-back clean sheets at New England and Charlotte and Head Coach Jim Curtin will want to continue that in front of the Union faithful. The Union’s attacking trio of Mikael Uhre, Julian Carraza, and Daniel Gazdag are clicking with 19 goals accounted for between the three.
Toronto FC have had quite the turnaround under new Head Coach John Herdman. While sitting above the Union, they have already matched their points total from last season and won nearly twice the amount of games before reaching the halfway mark. The key to Toronto’s turnaround has been the goal scoring of Federico Bernardeschi, leading the team with six goals. Playmaker Lorenzo Insigne will look to set up his teammates as Toronto’s assist leader as well.
The Reds are coming off of a 4-3 loss against defending Supporters’ Shield winner FC Cincinnati at home but were without their Italian talesman who missed the game due to yellow card accumulation. Bernardeschi will be fully rested as he looks to build upon his hat trick against Canadian rival CF Montreal.
