Orlando City
- Orlando City have won two and lost three of their five home matches in MLS 2026, conceding nine goals.
- Martin Perelman’s team have been playing at a much faster tempo since he took over as interim boss in March 2026.

Philadelphia Union
- 28th-placed Philadelphia Union are one place and four points behind after also playing 12 matches.
- Philadelphia Union have won only one and drawn one of their seven road games in MLS 2026, scoring eight goals in total.
- Philadelphia Union’s game is built on an extremely high, co-ordinated press and the ability to transition quickly to attack off turnovers.
- The Union are struggling to generate enough goals and look more vulnerable to the counter attack.
- Philadelphia have been winless in their last 5 matches, with 3 draws and 2 defeats, while their away form has been particularly bad, with 2 losses and 1 draw in their last 3 road trips.
- Danley Jean Jacques is the top scorer for the Union in MLS 2026 with just 2 goals in 10 appearances and the midfield is reliant on him and the energy of the pressing group to get forward.
