Philadelphia Union v DC United : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 26th Apr, 21:30 BST, Subaru Park, Chester

It's an away trip for Troy Lesesne's DC United side on Saturday night, as they visit the Subaru Park for a Major League Soccer showdown with Bradley Wellmen's Philadelphia Union. For every Major League Soccer match preview, KickOff delves into the statistics for multiple markets. Meaningful stats, including head-to-head results, are then given alongside odds from leading bookmakers.


Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

All things considered, our prediction for Saturday's fixture is over 2.5 goals, meaning that we expect Philadelphia and DC United to score 3 goals or more between them during the regulation 90 mins. 2 goals or fewer would mean the time doesn't win but, with stats below suggesting both teams have goals in them, we think it looks like a great bet.
