Current form: NYC FC vs Philadelphia Union

It's set to be a rematch between NYC FC and Philadelphia Union as the two sides lock horns for the second time in just three days at Yankee Stadium. On October 28th, NYC FC snatched all three points thanks to a comprehensive 3-1 win over Union and certainly, the visitors will be gunning for revenge as they square off in the MLS Cup playoffs on Wednesday evening.

The win for NYC FC, however, came at just the right time, as they were in horrible form coming into that game. Torrent's side had won just one of their last nine games across all competitions, including back-to-back defeats to Minnesota United (2-1) and DC United (3-1) and as such, the team and fans will be hoping that this vital victory could be the jump-start NYC FC desperately need heading into the playoffs and hopefully deep into the MLS Cup tournament proper.

As for Philadelphia Union, it was a disappointing end to the campaign as the loss to NYC FC came on the heels of a defeat to another New York based team - the New York Red Bulls. Prior to that, Union were riding high after cruising to a 5-1 victory over Minnesota United, which was the perfect response Jim Curtin wanted to see after a frustrating scoreless stalemate against Columbus Crew and a 3-0 mauling suffered by Houston Dynamo in the US Open Cup last month.

So, the question becomes, will Union be able to rebound after a downward slide heading into this playoff tie? Or will NYC FC use their impressive 3-1 win a few days ago and their home pitch advantage to maximum effect as they look to progress to the next round? 

Current position: NYC FC vs Philadelphia Union

As things stand, NYC FC sit in third spot in the Eastern Conference, with 56 points, while their upcoming opponents Philadelphia Union are six points behind and three places back in sixth place. The clash between the two sides on Decision Day just a few days ago ultimately proved to be decisive, as Union could have sealed third place with a win, but their 3-1 defeat pushed them back into sixth as NYC FC sealed a coveted top three spot.

Defending champions Toronto FC, who won their first ever MLS Cup last season, did not even qualify for the playoffs this time around.
