Philadelphia Union team news and form: Philly missing their chances
Mikael Uhre’s 2nd-minute opener at DRV PNK Stadium only angered the Herons. Sure, Philadelphia deserved to score another in the early minutes of the game, but Lionel Messi is not one who misses and he punished his team twice, with Suarez adding the third in the 98th minute of the match.

Player to watch: Daniel Gazdag
Seeing as Gazdag was very close to securing a Top Goalscorer in Major League Soccer back in 2022, we thought it was a good idea to feature him as the player to watch in our key New York City vs Philadelphia Union prediction. The Hungarian attacking midfielder is also the top finisher for Philly this season and he will surely put up a fight for the prestigious individual award once more.
Second player to watch: Mikael Uhre
Uhre is the second player we’d like to turn your attention to. He’s the second-best Philadelphia Union goalscorer this season. Surely, his place among the starters is also secured.
