Philadelphia Union host Orlando City in Major League Soccer, with just 2 points separating the two teams, and this is their first meeting of the season after Orlando City won 4-3 back in May. The hosts are in their hottest form of the year, on a five-match winning run, and four of those five wins came by two goals or more, including their last two matches where they both won 5-0. Meanwhile, Orlando City have just lost two in a row, going down 2-4 in their latest league match, and their defence has now conceded 60 goals in 26 matches, nearly twenty more than Philadelphia Union have conceded. According to the expected line-ups, Philadelphia Union are likely to line up 4-4-2 with Cavan Sullivan and Indiana Vassilev on the wings, and Milan Iloski alongside Bruno Damiani as the main strikers. Orlando City also set up 4-4-2 but their defence looks thinner. This game is likely to play out with the hosts dominating possession and attacking, while the visitors wait to counter. The first half may still be close, but if the hosts score first, the second half could flow in one direction.
