Union continue quest for first shutout at United

Soccer Betting Lines

08/20/2010 - Washington, D.C. (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Union earned their first- ever Major League Soccer win over D.C. United, and could produce another first against the struggling four-time champions Sunday afternoon at RFK Stadium.

The Union (4-10-5) have not posted a shutout in their first season in MLS, but have the best chance to date against D.C. United (3-14-3), which has failed to score in 13 of its 20 matches.

D.C., which won the most recent of its MLS titles in 2004, has scored just 13 goals this year, or the same amount as MLS leading scorer Edson Buddle of the Los Angeles Galaxy.

The Union have scored in 16 of their 19 matches, led by Sebastien Le Toux and his team-high nine goals and rookie Danny Mwanga and his seven goals.

Although Philadelphia has also struggled, it sits five points above United in the Eastern Conference. The Union tied Real Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids in their last two matches, but are winless in five straight.

Le Toux scored a hat trick in Philadelphia's 3-2 win over United in April, and assistant coach John Hackworth believes the second meeting is important, even though the teams have the two worst records in the league.

"Certainly D.C. is a big game for us," Hackworth said on the Union's website. "We go on the road against logically one of our biggest rivals. They're struggling and they're going to search every way they can for points."

United is winless in nine straight, including five straight defeats. D.C. has scored just one goal in its last six games, with its other tally coming on an own goal in a 3-1 loss to FC Dallas last week.

D.C. fired Curt Onalfo a few weeks ago, but Ben Olsen has been unable to turn the season around in his limited time in charge. United's only hope is to get off the bottom of the standings, and the Union are probably the only team they can hope to catch.

United has posted two of its three wins at home this season, and the Union are tied with Toronto FC and the New England Revolution for the fewest points on the road all year.

"It's going to be tough, but we played well in our last couple games and feel like we're due for some things to go our way," Hackworth said.
