Next Sunday at 2:30am GMT, on matchday 38 of the MLS, we will see Union play COLO at Subaru Park.

COLO currently sit in eleventh place as they travel to first placed Union.

Philadelphia Union will be under pressure to remain top of the League, going into this fixture

Union must take a positive approach to this game, if they are to get anything out of, following their recent defeat to D.C. United at Audi Field.

Also, League leaders Union keep finding ways to win, having secured seven victories in their last nine matches is astonishing this season. With 0 wins, 0 losses and 0 draws for a total of 51 points so far this season, they have secured the top spot in the MLS.

Given COLO’s form at this time, it will be a significant challenge for them to overturn Union’s home record. They have won eight matches and drawn five meetings so far this season. The prospects of a positive result for COLO are concerning for the visitors.

A win for Philadelphia Union will take the League leaders to 54 points, further consolidating their position and keeping the pressure on everyone else.

Colorado Rapids have 32 points to their name, going into this tie

With Robin Fraser’s men stubbornly held to a 1-1 draw in their last match, he will hope to find the key to unlock the defence in this fixture.

Also, a draw statistic of two in three matches is not all bad, but unfortunately will not bring the success Robin Fraser’s men wishes for ultimately. Their position is eleventh in the League and they have 32 points, that is, 0W, 0L and 0D.

With a poor record on the road, which amounts to one win, three darts, and eight losses, it is hard to predict a positive outcome for COLO as they travel once more.

Winning this fixture will see Colorado Rapids on 35 points.
