Philadelphia’s recovery this season has been quite remarkable after a really slow start that left them bottom of the Eastern Conference after the first few weeks.

Their rise has a lot to do with the talent of Cavan Sullivan who is in unbelievable form with 12 goal contributions across 17 starts at just 16 years of age. 

Philadelphia have won each of their last five matches ahead of this clash, seeing BTTS against Sporting Kansas last time as they emerged 4-3 winners despite only having an underlying xG of 0.86 themselves. 

Orlando have lost their last two matches, but have scored in both of these games and in each of their last 19 matches more widely - stretching all the way back to a blank against Montreal on the road back in May.

Orlando have only won three of their 13 away games in the MLS this term, yet have still scored 23 goals across these games which sums up the side quite well. The 43 goals they’ve conceded across these games is the most on the road of any side in the Eastern Conference. 

Vancouver have been a really reliable team to back in the MLS this season and currently sit top of the Western Conference having won 15 of their 25 matches.

Their recent form looks patchy on paper, but they were able to get a really positive result on the road against Real Salt Lake last time out which should help confidence.

Vancouver also have one of the top scorers in the division in Brian White, who has 16 goals in the MLS this season - building on the 18 he managed in the MLS last year.

DC United sit 11th in the Eastern Conference and have had a pretty unremarkable season to date, winning just six of their 25 matches and notably just winning two from 11 on the road.

They’ve also only managed to win one of their last five matches across all competitions, giving Vancouver a real edge over their opponents here as Vancouver have won nine of their 14 home games.

Toronto come into this game having suffered back to back heavy defeats against Orlando and St Louis as the away side, conceding 3+ goals in both games - including an xG against of 2.60 against St Louis.

Toronto are without a clean sheet across their last 10 matches and sit 12th in the Eastern Conference with a dismal away record which has seen them win two of their 12 away assignments, conceding 21 goals in the process.

Nashville should have too much for them here, they came away 3-0 winners over Chicago last time out and have only lost once across their last five matches. Nashville have won a remarkable 12 out of 13 home games this season, avoiding defeat in all of these matches.

They’ve picked up the most points at home of any side across the two conferences and their defensive record looks particularly mean with just 12 goals conceded against 39 scored. 

These sides met back in March with Colorado coming away 4-1 winners on that occasion, with an xG of 2.14 and LA Galaxy dropping down to 10 men for the last 30 minutes of the encounter.

Only three points and one place separates these sides in the Eastern Conference, so we can expect it to be quite a close game with chances for both sides as both are also dangerously close to dropping out of the playoff spots.

This game is particularly important as Colorado have a game in hand on LA Galaxy, meaning they could open up a nine point gap on their opponents if they were to collect all three points and win their extra game. 

Both sides saw BTTS last time out as LA Galaxy emerged 3-2 winners over Minnesota on the road while Colorado had to settle for a point in a 3-3 draw with Seattle Sounders.
