The Philadelphia Union can move even on points with D.C. United and the Montreal Impact atop the Eastern Conference with a win over FC Cincinnati Wednesday night at Talen Energy Stadium.

The Union (4-3-2), who have lost just once in their last seven games, are coming off a 1-1 draw against the Vancouver Whitecaps at BC Place on the weekend with Kacper Przybylko scoring the 66th minute equalizer on his debut. FC Cincinnati (2-5-2) had chances in the second half, hitting the woodwork three times in the final half hour, but suffered a 1-0 loss to the New York Red Bulls, extending the expansion side's winless run to five games with their third consecutive defeat.

This is the second meeting between these sides, with the Union winning 2-0 at Nippert Stadium on March 30 with Marco Fabian and David Accam scoring on either side of halftime.
