The visiting Philadelphia Union side should be favourites in this visit to DC United, as the away team holds a 23 point advantage from their 17 league games this season.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Philadelphia Union have to travel 4400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for DC United as they are travelling to their away game against Cincinnati in the Major League Soccer. That match is four days after this one.
