Neutral30%
Philadelphia is in 9th place in the MLS standings after 23 matches, reflecting a performance that is neither too strong nor too weak in the context of fierce competition.
Although there are 6.2 corners per game, the conversion rate from these situations isn't really high, especially against tightly defensive teams.
The current lineup relies on a core group of players, but the absence of Francis Westfield and Jesus Bueno hasn't had too serious an impact due to the balance in the playing style
Negative30%
Philadelphia's defense has conceded 12 goals in their last 10 games, with only 2 clean sheets, highlighting a lack of solidity and vulnerability to counterattacks in crucial matches.
A total of 25 yellow cards and 1 red card in 10 matches indicates a lack of discipline in play, especially when facing strong opponents like Necaxa or Santos Laguna
The 9th position in the MLS table after 23 games with 27 points (1.17 points per game) reflects instability, especially when compared to the performance of 2.5 points per game in the last 8 matches.
