Philadelphia Union have climbed back to the summit of both the Eastern Conference and the MLS Supporters' Shield standings, sitting on 43 points — and they’ll look to tighten their grip at the top when they host struggling CF Montréal on Wednesday night.
Fresh off a statement victory over the 2024 MLS Cup runners-up New York Red Bulls, the Union have regained control in a tight playoff race. With just three points separating first and fifth in the East, this midweek clash could prove crucial in Philly’s quest for silverware.
While the Union have surged, CF Montréal have floundered. The Canadian side sits anchored at the bottom of the table, managing just three wins from 22 matches, with 13 defeats and six draws.
