Union need to eliminate mistakes Real soon

Soccer Betting Lines

05/07/2010 - Sandy, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Union have had a player ejected in the first half of three of their five games, so its not surprising the MLS expansion club has just one win this season entering Saturday's match at Real Salt Lake.

When the Union have managed to keep all 11 players on the field ("Ideally we'd like to keep eleven men on the field," Philadelphia's Alejandro Moreno said), they've committed costly mistakes instead.

Philadelphia lost Toni Stahl to a red card in the 40th minute of a 2-0 loss at Seattle Sounders FC in its first game, had Danny Califf sent off in a 2-1 loss to Toronto FC, and Stefan Miglioranzi was sent off in last week's 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Philadelphia won its lone match against D.C. United, 3-2, but goalkeeper Chris Seitz made a mistake in that match led to a United goal. In a 2-1 loss at Red Bull New York, Michael Orozco gave away the winning goal on a penalty kick for a handball in the area.

Philadelphia will try to eliminate both problems at Rio Tinto Stadium against the defending MLS champions.

"Of course, we didn't expect to be able to start with five wins. Of course, we believed that the way we will compete and play on the field, would bring the results," Philadelphia coach Peter Nowak said.

Nowak's club has scored in its last four matches, and 17-year-old rookie Jack McInerney scored his first MLS goal against L.A. Union striker Sebastien Le Toux, who has four of the club's six goals, missed that game and McInerney may be in line for his first start.

Union assistant coach John Hackworth said Le Toux was progressing "faster than normal," but his status for this week was still uncertain.

"We want to be cautious," Hackworth said about Le Toux's knee sprain, "because this is one of those injuries that if you come back too early, you can have other problems."

Philadelphia has lost its last three, and has dropped all four of its games on the road. Seitz and the Union's defense, anchored by Califf and Orozco, hasn't been as strong as thought before the season, allowing 2.2 goals per game.

Seitz joined the Union from Real in the expansion draft, and he may be playing for his starting job against his former team.

Midfielder Javier Morales leads Real with three goals, while Robbie Findley is the top assist man with two. Morales has missed two games because of injuries, but he will likely play against the Union.

Real continues to be one of the better home teams in MLS, and has a draw and a win in its two games in Utah this season.

RSL coach Jason Kreis, who is still trying to get his team in top form, thinks Philadelphia has a strong team that will get better as the season continues.

"I still think they've got the right pieces. They've got a very good coach. I think they have what it takes to be a good team this year," Kreis said.
