Philadelphia v Toronto FC

Philadelphia Union vs Toronto FC Preview

Four points from their last two games on the road will give Philadelphia Union a real boost as they return to their Subaru Park for this upcoming midweek clash against Toronto FC as the hosts look to bolster their claims for a Finals Series place, while Toronto FC were handed a high-scoring 4-3 defeat at home to FC Cincinnati in last weekend's action in the MLS.

Philadelphia Union currently occupy eighth place in the Eastern Conference table and the hosts find themselves four points behind seventh placed Charlotte which was largely due to a previously disappointing six-game winless run in the MLS which included just two draws and slipping to four defeats as well.

However, a comprehensive 3-0 win on the road against New England Revolution along with a point gained in a 0-0 stalemate away from home at Charlotte will give Jim Curtin's side a welcome lift as they return to their Subaru Park looking to build upon these two recent promising results.

Four previous defeats on the trot at home though for Philadelphia Union suggests the goals market may be the safest option here, especially as no fewer than seven of The Union's last 10 home games have resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored.

Toronto FC slipped down the Eastern Conference ladder to sixth place following their recent 4-3 loss at home to Charlotte which became a third defeat in their last four games overall having previously slipped to losses at the hands of New York City and Nashville, and only a 5-1 home win against Montreal has spared the visitors' blushes in recent times.

The Canadian outfit have more or less traded only in either wins or losses so far in this season's MLS campaign as the visitors have won seven, lost seven and been involved in just the single draw to date this term.

Within their last 10 games overall though, Toronto FC have been handed no fewer than six defeats, three of which have been dealt to the visitors on their travels with losses incurred at Vancouver Whitecaps, Charlotte and Nashville respectively so the prospects of an away win here for Toronto FC looks to hang in the balance somewhat.

Indeed, Toronto FC have struggled to pick up positive results on the road in the MLS for some time now as John Herdman's side have managed to collect just two wins from their previous 27 outings on their travels along with being subjected to a total of 20 defeats in the process.

Goals look likely though in this upcoming clash as seven of Toronto FC's last 10 away games have also produced three goals or more.
