Sporting KC<\/a> host Philadelphia Union<\/a> at Sporting Park on Saturday, September 19 (8:30 PM ET \/ 7:30 PM CT \/ 5:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are no fresh injury concerns on either team sheet for this one, so both managers head into the weekend with essentially full squads to pick from. Calvin William Harris, the midfielder who has created 14 chances and scored 3 goals in 1804 minutes, looks set to anchor Sporting KC’s attack alongside striker Taylor Calheira, who has also reached 3 goals in just 685 minutes on the field. Philadelphia Union will lean heavily on Milan Iloski<\/a>, who has scored 12 goals from 94 shots this season, with Bruno Damiani P\u00edriz offering a second scoring outlet after 7 goals of his own.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia Union’s away form has been excellent, underlined by a 5-0 win at San Diego FC last time out, while Sporting KC’s leaky defense \u2014 already sitting on a -33 goal difference \u2014 gives them a route back into games if they find the net first. Expect goals at both ends here, with Philadelphia Union’s superior firepower up top ultimately proving decisive.<\/p>\n
