The Philadelphia Union manager J. Curtin attacks this game with the team placed 20th so far. In the visitors dressing room Orlando City and their manager Ó. Pareja Gómez are in 19th place before this match.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
These teams have little in common geographically as Orlando City have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
