Philadelphia Union: data and current form
One of the interesting games that this MLS day brings us is the one that will be played at Subaru Park when two candidates to reach the last stages such as the Philadelphia Union and Portland Timbers face each other.
Those coached by Jim Curtin got off to a rather slow start to the current 2021 season, to the point where they added just one point in their first two games.
But the story has been completely different in recent weeks, to the point that the Union have not lost in their last four MLS games where they won three of them and thus have climbed to third place in the Eastern Conference with three points less than the leader New England Revolution.
What has improved the Philadelphia cast for this comeback is the work on defense to the point that they have received barely a goal in these last four games, and so this Sunday he wants to continue down that path and what better way to do it as a local where 2020 remained undefeated.
Possible lineup: Andre Blake; Kai Wagner, Jack Elliot, Jakob Glesnes, Olivier Mbaizo; Leon Flach, José Martínez, Alejandro Bedoya; Jamiro Monteiro; Cory Burke, Kacper Przybylko.
Portland Timbers: Facts and Current Form
–
For their part, those led by Giovanni Savarese have also raised their actions in recent weeks and thus the cast of Portland has just won their last two games, and beware that the last of them was always the candidate for the title such as LA Galaxy, whom they defeated by a resounding 3-0.
In this way, the Portland team has started the comeback since they are sixth in the Western Conference, four points less than the second classified that is Sporting Kansas City.
But the theme of Portland Timbers is his irregularity playing as a visitor, a condition where he has lost three of their last four games and if we want to focus on their MLS games in that condition they have only won one of their last six games, but anyway, they want to change those numbers against a Philadelphia Union whom they have beaten in their last five direct games.
Possible lineup: Logan Ketterer; Jose Van Rankin, Bill Tuiloma, Dario Zuparic, Claudio Bravo; Eryk Williamson, Yimmi Chara; Jeremy Ebobisse, Diego Valeri, Dairo Asprilla; Felipe Mora.

Forecast Philadelphia Union – Portland Timbers: Win Philadelphia Union
It is true that the Philadelphia Union cast has not done very well when they have had to face Portland Timbers to the point that they have lost their last five direct games against them; but we believe that history will be different in this commitment, since the Union has improved a lot in recent weeks, especially at home where they have only conceded one goal in their last four games.
To this we have to add how much Philadelphia is doing at home and the irregularity of the Timbers as a visitor, because it makes us decide go for the victory of the premises, which also has a more than interesting fee.
