Union–Orlando: playoff stakes rise

Philadelphia host Orlando on 26 September at 7 pm ET. Today’s preview sets up a meeting of the East’s sixth- and seventh-placed teams.

Context

The Union have 36 points and Orlando 34. Philadelphia are unbeaten in eleven league matches after coming back to win 4–3 at Kansas City on the 19th. Cavan Sullivan contributed to that victory but is away with the United States in this window. His absence shifts attention to squad depth as well as recent form.

The supporters’ visual identity also includes Orlando City Home Shirt 25/26.

What comes next

The match takes place at Subaru Park in Chester. Antoine Griezmann’s involvement remains uncertain in the preview dated the 24th; that is not a confirmed absence.
