The 2019 Major League Soccer schedule is out and now fans across the league know the exact paths that their teams will be on as they look to make the Audi 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs. Philadelphia Union ’s opening month features three road matches, each providing unique challenges.
Each of the last four seasons, the path to the postseason has required some road point accumulation along the way. In 2015, Eastern Conference playoff teams averaged 17.7 road points (4.8 wins and 3.3 draws) while 2018 saw teams claim 20.1 points (5.3 wins, 4.2 draws). With three matches away from Talen Energy Stadium in March, the schedule provides the opportunity for Philly to claim valuable road points.
