Philadelphia Union vs Saprissa: Storylines
While the MLS 2021 hasn’t begun yet, and its kick-off date is getting closer, Philadelphia was one of the American teams that had to begin their Concachampions journey still being in preseason.
However, they figured out the way to begin the year strongly , as they have beaten a strong Costa Rican side on the road. Back at home, Curtin’s team has the duty to hold onto their advantage and toavoid any disappointment.
Deportivo Saprissa, on the other hand, are going through hard times, even though they remain at the third place of the domestic championship standings. The Purple Monster hasn’t won in their last eight league games, which is why they are desperate to turn things around.
