I know I'm getting repetitive, but we are here to present a new MLS matchday, where many teams try to shorten their way into the playoff race. On the other hand, the last thing we are going to watch from US clubs is the Leagues Cup, because every team has been eliminated.
Still, let's not be sad; we continue watching our best players every week and weekend. Now, we join one of the most even matches: New York Red Bulls vs Philadelphia Union.
NYRDB has been doing a solid campaign, while the Union is turning around their bad start after the World Cup.
With this being said, join us for this New York Red Bulls vs. Philadelphia Union preview. In this article, we will discuss the latest news, provide information on how to watch the game, and present the predicted formation.

New York Red Bulls:
Rafael Mosquera - Thigh (Questionable)
Philadelphia Union:
Alejandro Bedoya - Knee (Questionable)
This is an interesting matchup because both teams are evenly matched, but one of them is on the rise: the Philadelphia Union.
While the Union struggled early in the season, a coaching change and Sullivan's emergence in a key role have sparked a remarkable turnaround, bringing the team within reach of the playoff spots.
However, Toronto have achieved something very difficult: solidity in midfield, which should make the battle in the middle of the park an interesting one.
Still, in this case, there are two possible outcomes: I imagine a draw or a victory for the Union.
Score Prediction: Toronto FC 1-2 or 1-1 Philadelphia Union
