The MLS returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Seattle Sounders take on an impressive Philadelphia Union side in an important clash at Subaru Park on Saturday.
Philadelphia Union vs Seattle Sounders Preview
Seattle Sounders are currently in 10th place in the MLS Western Conference standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Sounders were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Austin FC in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
Philadelphia Union, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the Eastern Conference league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The Union played out a 1-1 draw against Sporting Kansas City last week and will need to take it up a notch in this match.
