Welcome to your match thread for today’s meeting between Orlando City (7-11-14, 35 points) and the Philadelphia Union (11-12-9, 42 points). Neither team has won in its last five matches, with Orlando going 0-4-1 in that span and Philly entering on a 0-3-2 run. Both sides are also 3-6-4 over their last 13 games. But the Union are holding desperately onto sixth place in the East while the Lions are out of the postseason picture.
This is the third and final scheduled meeting in 2016 between the clubs. The Union grabbed the first meeting 2-1 at Talen Energy Stadium on April 8 on a late free kick by Tranquillo Barnetta.
