Austin vs Philadelphia Union Match Analysis & Prediction
17/03/2024 3:30 am
Two teams still in search of their first victories of the 2024 Major League Soccer campaign meet at the Q2 Stadium on Monday morning as Austin FC host Philadelphia Union.
Austin played out a second straight draw as they drew 2-2 against St Louis City when the two sides met in Texas on Sunday.
Josh Wolff’s side led 1-0 and 2-1 through goals from Matt Hedges and Julio Cascante, but were pegged back on either occasion by Eduard Lowen and Celio Pompeu.
As a result, Los Verdes have dropped down to 11th position in the Western Conference of the MLS table, one point off playoff contention.
Currently on a run of one win in six home matches leading up to Monday’s contest, the hosts set out to get themselves going in front of their fans.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia Union saw their CONCACAF Champions Cup campaign come to an end following a 6-0 defeat to Mexican side Pachuca on Wednesday.
Jim Curtin’s side conceded a hat-trick to Salomon Rondon after which Nelson Deossa, Oussama Idrissi and Alan Bautista put the outcome beyond doubt.
Prior to that, Philadelphia saw their league encounter with Seattle Sounders end abruptly due to bad weather and have consequently dropped to 11th place in the Easter Conference standings.
Ahead of a daunting assignment against division leaders Portland Timbers seven days later, Zolos will be keen to pick up a morale-boosting result on Monday.
