After claiming a club-record sixth away win in Seattle on Wednesday, the Union are back in Chester for a nationally televised match. Their opponents are Sporting Kansas City, the hottest team in the West not named the Sounders.
Both sides are coming into this afternoon game on top form. SKC have won six of their last seven and currently sit atop the Western Conference, but their playoff position is nowhere near assured. Only seven points separate first and sixth place, meaning seeding could look drastically different a few weeks from now.
The Union enter this match in similarly sizzling fashion, dropping points in only two of their previous seven matches.
