Philadelphia has drawn six of their last eight MLS matches (W1 L1). The Union have lost only one of their last 22 home regular season matches (W14 D7), though their last three home games all finished in draws.
After a club-record four-game winning streak that saw them allow just two total goals, Cincinnati has lost back-to-back matches, allowing seven total goals, letting in at least three in both matches. Since they entered MLS in 2019, no team has allowed more 3+ goal games than Cincinnati (34).
The Union have allowed just 10 goals this season, tied with NYCFC for the fewest in the league this season. Philadelphia is holding opponents to both the lowest shooting accuracy (28.3%) and conversion rate (5.4%) in MLS this season.
Luciano Acosta has contributed to at least one goal in each of his last seven MLS games (4 goals, 4 assists), the longest run of games with a goal contribution in MLS this season. Since the start of the 2020 season, there has only been one longer run in a single season in MLS: Johnny Russell – 10 straight in September-November 2021.
