New York City v Philadelphia Union : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 16th Aug, 23:00 BST, Yankee Stadium, New York City

Philadelphia Union are on the road on Sunday night, as manager Bradley Carnell takes his side to visit New York City and Pascal Jansen at the Yankee Stadium in the Major League Soccer. All stats, including 20-game form for both teams and head-to-head records, will change as you click through each of the 17 major markets via the tabs below. Odds and, of course, KickOff's predictions will too.


Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

KickOff's prediction and odds from the bookmakers suggest that this Major League Soccer tie will be on for the neutrals, with at least 3 goals to scored in the game. As both sides are unconvincing in the WDW market given their latest form, we're going with the statistics and past head-to-head (H2H) records below, both of which point firmly in the direction of over 2.5 goals being the best bet here.
