The Philadelphia Union will look to make it five-straight wins when they host the Houston Dynamo this weekend at Subaru Park. The Union enter the match with a league-leading 15 goals allowed in 22 games, 6 fewer than the next best team, New York City FC. Union coach Jim Curtin said the Eastern Conference leaders will continue to emphasize their lock-tight defense. “We’re going to continue to push to break the record of 27 goals conceded in a 34-game season.” The record was set by Sporting Kansas City in 2017.
The Union are in the middle of a an 11-game home unbeaten streak (6-0-5) and are the only remaining team in the league unbeaten at home.
