Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Philadelphia Union is 6.52, compared to 6.65 for Los Angeles Galaxy. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Philadelphia Union's highest-rated starter is F. Westfield (7.12), while Los Angeles Galaxy's best-rated player is M. Yoshida (6.90).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Philadelphia Union have contributed 4 goals and 4 assists this season, led by D. Jean Jacques (2G). Los Angeles Galaxy's starters account for 7 goals and 7 assists, spearheaded by M. Reus (4G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Philadelphia Union deploy 4 defenders rated 6.98 on average, against Los Angeles Galaxy's 4-man backline averaging 6.65. 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

Philadelphia Union field 4 midfielders averaging 6.76, versus Los Angeles Galaxy's 3 rated 6.62. 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

Philadelphia Union start 2 forward(s) averaging 6.52, compared to 3 for Los Angeles Galaxy averaging 6.71. 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 73% for Philadelphia Union and 83% for Los Angeles Galaxy. 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

Philadelphia Union's starters have collected 14 yellow cards this season, compared to 13 for Los Angeles Galaxy. 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 Philadelphia Union's starting XI is 22.6 (youngest: A. Rick (19), oldest: D. Jean Jacques (25)), while Los Angeles Galaxy average 27.4 (youngest: E. Wynder (22), oldest: M. Yoshida (37)). 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

Philadelphia Union's starters average 11 league appearances each, versus 11 for Los Angeles Galaxy. 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.
