Philadelphia Union will entertain D.C. United at Subaru Park in Major League Soccer on Monday. Both sides are statistically tied in the Eastern Conference table.

The hosts recovered from a 3-1 thrashing at the hands of Inter Miami by crushing New York City 5-1 in their last match. Philadelphia Union will return to their base after three consecutive fixtures on the road, during which they won twice and lost once. They sit 10th on 33 points in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Union are pursuing a qualification for the playoffs, with five rounds of matches left to wrap up the regular season. They could snatch a ticket for the wild-card round or round one of the playoffs if they win the bulk of their remaining games. Only five points separate the hosts and bottom-placed New England Revolution.

D.C. United sit below Philadelphia Union in the 12th spot, despite both teams being tied on 33 points. The visitors are still beneath the wild-card round qualification zone but could move in if they win on Monday. They could also suffer a drop if they lose, with three teams hot on their heels.

Black-and-Red are hoping to achieve a better result in this campaign than they did in the previous. They finished 12th last season and failed to qualify for the playoffs. D.C. United have been laying the groundwork to relive their heyday, when they won four MLS Cup titles. A qualification for the playoffs could get their hopes up.
