Philadelphia Union's starters account for 5 goals and 5 assists, spearheaded by M. Iloski (2G).

Defensive Solidity
Vancouver Whitecaps deploy 4 defenders rated 7.12 on average, against Philadelphia Union's 4-man backline averaging 6.84. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.
Midfield Control
Vancouver Whitecaps field 5 midfielders averaging 7.34, versus Philadelphia Union's 4 rated 6.82. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.
Forward Threat
Vancouver Whitecaps start 1 forward(s) averaging —, compared to 2 for Philadelphia Union averaging 6.66. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.
Passing & Build-Up
Passing accuracy averages 83% for Vancouver Whitecaps and 72% for Philadelphia Union. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.
Discipline
Vancouver Whitecaps's starters have collected 14 yellow cards this season, compared to 9 for Philadelphia Union. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.
Age & Experience
The average age of Vancouver Whitecaps's starting XI is 27.9 (youngest: E. Ocampo (22), oldest: T. Muller (36)), while Philadelphia Union average 25.0 (youngest: A. Rick (19), oldest: A. Bedoya (38)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.
Squad Depth
Vancouver Whitecaps's starters average 10 league appearances each, versus 9 for Philadelphia Union. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
