Records: Chivas USA 4-6-5; Philadelphia Union 6-4-5.

Update: Chivas USA’s two-match losing streak has dropped it to eighth in the nine-team Western Conference. Only three points separate Chivas from the cellar, so a positive result against Philadelphia is crucial. Meanwhile, the Union, despite not notching a win in its last four matches, sits atop the Eastern Conference standings, tied with the New York Red Bulls. Chivas forward Marcos Mondaini has scored two goals in the team’s last three games.
