Orlando City desperately need points on Sunday, Sep 27 at 1:30 AM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Philadelphia Union come into this fixture in good form (3W 2D 0L recently). Orlando City travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, Philadelphia Union lead 3–5 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Philadelphia Union won 3–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Philadelphia Union clear favorites, but Orlando City have shown they can grind out results. Expect Philadelphia Union to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
