Philadelphia Union (5-4-10) at Austin FC (4-5-10) — Match Preview
Philadelphia Union (5-4-10) travel to Q2 Stadium on August 22, 2026 to face Austin FC (4-5-10) in a matchup between two sides jockeying for position near the bottom of the MLS table. Philadelphia sits 13th with 19 points and a goal differential of -7, just ahead of Austin FC, who sit 14th with 17 points and a goal differential of -15 built on 38 goals allowed against Philadelphia’s 35.

Players to Watch: Philadelphia Union vs. Austin FC
Philadelphia Union
Milan Iloski — F. Iloski leads Philadelphia’s attack with 10 goals across 19 appearances this season, making him the away side’s most direct scoring threat heading into Q2 Stadium. No other Union forward has come close to matching his output, and Austin will need to account for him individually to keep the match close.
Danley Jean Jacques — M. A midfielder doubling as a scoring outlet, Jean Jacques has found the net 3 times in 18 appearances for Philadelphia. His goals have come from advanced positions rather than a traditional striker’s role, giving the Union a second scoring outlet that Austin’s defense can’t simply hand off to one marker.
Frankie Westfield — D. Westfield has turned into a productive creative outlet from Philadelphia’s back line, setting up 5 assists in 16 appearances this season. That kind of output from a defender is uncommon, and it gives the Union a second source of chance creation beyond their attacking line.
Austin FC
Myrto Uzuni — F. Uzuni leads Austin’s attack with 6 goals in 17 appearances this season, the club’s most productive scoring mark among its listed leaders. He’ll be the primary focal point up top as Austin looks to trouble a Philadelphia defense that has already conceded 35 goals of its own this season.
Facundo Torres — F. Torres has quietly become Austin’s top creative source this season, setting up 5 assists across 19 appearances from the wing. His distribution gives Uzuni and the rest of Austin’s attack a direct supply line for scoring chances.
Jon Bell — D. Bell has chipped in 2 goals from 14 appearances on Austin’s back line, a notable contribution for a defender on a team that has scored just 23 goals across 19 matches all season. His output gives Austin a rare source of production from outside its front line.
