Philadelphia Union face Seattle Sounders FC at Subaru Park, Chester on Sunday, Jul 26 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.

Philadelphia Union come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5). Seattle Sounders FC, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

In 10 previous meetings, Philadelphia Union lead 3–5 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Seattle Sounders FC won 3–2.

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