DLWWWD
Philadelphia Union go into this game following a 1-1 US Open Cup drawn result versus Indy Eleven.
The only scorer from Philadelphia Union was Alejandro Bedoya (6'). After a tense 5-4 penalty shootout, Philadelphia Union were victorious.
Their more recent scorelines show that much solidity has been shown by the Philadelphia Union backline. Philadelphia Union have given the opposition little, seeing the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their last 6 matches standing at 3.
Columbus Crew
WWWLWW
Columbus Crew head into the clash following on from a 4-2 MLS win versus Charlotte FC in their last outing.
In that game, Columbus Crew had 58% possession and 16 attempts on goal with 11 on target. For Columbus Crew, the goalscorers were Dylan Chambost (25'), Diego Rossi (39'), Aziel Jackson (51') and Jacen Russell-Rowe (81'). For their opponents, Charlotte FC got 9 shots on goal with 3 on target. Wilfried Zaha (45') and Liel Abada (64') scored for Charlotte FC.
Columbus Crew have seen success in front of goal leading up to this encounter, scoring 12 goals in their previous 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Columbus Crew have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same clashes. Such a trend might not follow through into this match, of course.
🤜🤛 Head to head
Checking out their prior head to head meetings going back to 09/04/2022, there has been little between the sides with Philadelphia Union winning 2 of those games, Columbus Crew 2 and 2 being draws after 90 minutes of play.
A sum of 14 goals were shared by the two clubs in these games, with 8 of them for The U and 6 netted by The Crew. That is an average goals per game value of 2.33.
The previous league match featuring the two was MLS match day 47 on 05/10/2024 when the final score was Columbus Crew 3-2 Philadelphia Union.
On that occasion, Columbus Crew managed 62% possession and 20 shots at goal with 10 on target. Goals were scored by Cucho Hernández (4', 76') and Mohamed Farsi (41').
At the other end, Philadelphia Union had 11 shots at goal with 6 on target. Nathan Harriel (25') and Jack McGlynn (78') scored.
The match was refereed by Allen Chapman.
📋 Team News: Philadelphia Union
Ian Glavinovich (Knee injury) and Markus Anderson (Ankle injury) will not be taking part for Philadelphia Union gaffer Bradley Carnell.
In all likelihood, The U could employ a 4-4-2 formation for the game with Andrew Rick, Francis Westfield, Nathan Harriel, Jakob Glesnes, Kai Wagner, Quinn Sullivan, Danley Jean Jacques, Jovan Lukic, Indiana Vassilev, Bruno Damiani and Tai Baribo.
📰 Team News: Columbus Crew
Columbus Crew manager Wilfried Nancy has some current player fitness concerns. Rudy Camacho (Hamstring injury), Nicholas Hagen (Broken finger) and Andrés Herrera (Hamstring injury) won’t be making appearances.
We believe The Crew could decide to elect for a 3-4-3 lineup, giving starts to Patrick Schulte, Steven Moreira, Sean Zawadzki, Yevgen Cheberko, Mohamed Farsi, Dylan Chambost, Darlington Nagbe, Max Arfsten, Diego Rossi, Jacen Russell-Rowe and Dániel Gazdag.
💭 Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Columbus Crew would be disappointed if they were not to get a goal against this Philadelphia Union team, but it probably won’t be enough to avoid a loss.
We reckon that it will be a 2-1 winning margin for Philadelphia Union by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Should be a good one.
