Philadelphia Union and Montreal Impact will be back in action this weekend when they lock horns in their eighth round of the MSL Eastern Conference clash. Kickoff schedules for 23rd April 2022 at 22:00 EAT.
Philadelphia Union occupies the top most spot in the MLS standings. They have played well in the match, taking their position at the top of the eastern conference table. Since drawing their season opener against Minnesota United, the Union went on a remarkable run of winning their next five games, while conceding only one goal. They had kept a five-game win streak until their match against Toronto.
The U will be looking make amends following 2-1 MLS loss to Toronto FC in their last fixture. In that match, Philadelphia Union had 46% possession, 14 shots with five of them on target and a goal scored by Carranza (34′). Toronto FC got seven shots with four of them on target and goals by Jiménez (39′) and Pozuelo (51′).
Montreal Impact is in the sixth position in the Eastern conference table with 10 points from their matches so far. After a shaky start to the season that saw them lose their opening three games, Montreal have turned a tide in recent weeks, winning their previous three Major League Soccer outings. Montreal is unbeaten in their last four matches as well.
The Impact will be looking for another win following 2-1 MLS win to beat Vancouver Whitecaps in their previous match. In that match, Montreal Impact had 54% possession, 12 shots with five of them on target and goals by Mihailovic (1′) and Quioto (47′). Vancouver Whitecaps got six shots with three of them on target and a goal by White (65′).
