With home advantage, they should be too good despite FC Cincinnati being a tough side to beat.

  • Philadelphia have won their last 9 home matches in the MLS.

Philadelphia Union Form


A 4-0 win over Toronto FC in the last game of the regular season sealed top spot in the Eastern Conference for Philadelphia.

They had stumbled across the list after drawing away to Atlanta United 0-0 and then losing 4-0 on the road at Charlotte.

The win over Toronto has a ninth in a row at home for Philadelphia, who go into the playoffs as one of the favourites to be crowned champions.

FC Cincinnati Form 


FC Cincinnati came from a goal down to beat New York Red Bulls 2-1 last week in the MLS Playoffs.

It continued a good run of form with just one loss in the last 11 matches.

The only defeat came three games back when losing 3-2 to Chicago Fire. Cincinnati bounced back to end the regular season with a 5-2 victory over DC United.
