Philadelphia Union looks to capitalize on their first home victory of the season against New York Red Bulls as they host Seattle Sounders. Ryan Richter's side, currently at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, aims to build momentum despite a challenging campaign.

Seattle Sounders, sitting sixth in the Western Conference, arrives in Chester on a four-match losing streak and faces a significant injury crisis, including a suspension for Jackson Ragen. Coach Brian Schmetzer's team is desperate to halt their slide and protect their playoff position. Key players for Philadelphia include Bruno Damiani and Milan Iloski, while Seattle's lineup might feature Paul Rothrock and Albert Rusnak. This match is crucial for both clubs, with Philadelphia seeking to climb the standings and Seattle fighting to regain form amidst numerous absences.
