The man who is the lynchpin of this team on offense is Maxi Moralez, who has good technique, great mid-range shot and passing vision that could be the key to tip the scales.

Leon Flach is coming off the back of his heroics as the scorer of the only goal that eliminated FC Cincinnati and was known for scoring some important goals in the campaign, but above all, he stood out for his leadership and construction in offensive plays throughout the campaign.

It is worth remembering that New York City FC is the reigning MLS champion and wants to defend its crown, which is why it cannot be written off, especially in the Conference Final. They finished in third place with 55 points and in the first round they defeated Inter Miami 3-0, while last Sunday they won 3-1 at Montreal as visitors.

The Philadelphia Union, along with LAFC, were the best teams in MLS and proof of this was that they topped their respective conferences. Now that they will be playing at home, they have the table set to reach the Grand Final, remembering that they have just defeated FC Cincinnati in a tight game.

The Philadelphia Union vs New York City FC match will be played at the Subaru Park Stadium, in Philadelphia, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 20:15 pm ET.
