The match
PayPal Park in California will be home to an interesting MLS clash this Sunday between San Jose Earthquakes and Philadelphia Union. The hosts are 5th in the Western Conference with 23 points from 16 matches while the visitors are 3rd in the Eastern Conference with 30 points. The Quakes are coming off a dull goalless draw against ten-man Colorado Rapids that extended their unbeaten run. The hosts are now unbeaten in three league games, winning one and drawing two. Yet, their overall form is a bit indifferent with two wins, three draws and four losses from their last nine competitive matches. Even their league form is dicey with three losses, three draws and just two wins from their last eight matches. As they search for a change of fortunes, playing at home could be a big positive. The Quakes are unbeaten in the league campaign at this venue, winning five and drawing two matches.
Philadelphia Union travel high on confidence after a 3-0 win over Montreal last week extended their unbeaten run to nine matches. This sequence saw the Union win seven of their last eight league games, which should be a big booster. The exits from the CONCACAF Champions League and the US Open Cup have probably worked as an elixir as they continue to keep up pace with leaders Cincinnati in the East. This trip also comes at a time when their away form has improved. The Union have won their last three away league games which is a drastic improvement from the beginning when they lost three straight away matches.
