Philadelphia Union and Orlando City go head-to-head at Subaru Park in the MLS on Saturday (March 25).

Jim Curtin’s men have won the last three league meetings with Orlando and will look to extend this impressive run. Philadelphia were denied consecutive MLS wins for the first time this season on Sunday (March 19), as they fell to a 3-2 loss against CF Montreal.

Before that, Curtin’s side picked up a 1-0 win over Chicago Fire on March 13, three days before edging out Alianza FC 4-0 in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions League last-16 clash. With six points from a possible 12, Philadelphia are sixth in the Eastern Conference, level on points with seventh-placed Inter Miami.

Meanwhile, Orlando failed to stop the rot last weekend, as they suffered a 2-1 home defeat against Charlotte FC. The Lions have now gone five games without a win across competitions, a run that saw them crash out of the CONCACAF Champions League against Tigres UANL.

Orlando have picked up five points from their opening four MLS games this season and sit tenth in the standings.
