Philadelphia Union face CF Montreal at Subaru Park, Chester on Sunday, Sep 6 at 1:30 AM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the MLS, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Philadelphia Union a slight edge, but CF Montreal are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
