Philadelphia Union didn’t have too much time to prepare for its trip to New York and the match against the Red Bulls. Philly is just below the play-in line and is in deep trouble, while the Bulls are in the middle of the playoff zone and looking careless at the moment.

Before Betting on New York Red Bulls vs. Philadelphia Union

Union didn’t have a nice ending to the Leagues Cup, losing the semis and the third-place match, and the negative trend extended to MLS events. They met the Columbus Crew this Wednesday at home, suffering a minimal defeat, 0-1, which was the first time after ten straight contests that Union didn’t score.

What makes the situation even more frightening for their fans is that Philly lost the past four MLS outings, allowing 14 goals during that span, which is the least to say terrible.

The Bulls didn’t play the Leagues Cup much, only the group stage. They suffered penalty-shootout defeats in both contests, thus swiftly ending their participation in this competition.

New York’s first meeting following the pause was against Charlotte at home, where they couldn’t defeat the guests from North Carolina. This matchup saw no winners, 1-1. Bulls still remain unbeaten at the Red Bull Arena, having seven victories and five ties in 12 appearances.

New York Red Bulls vs. Philadelphia Union Head to Head

There was one meeting between these teams during the current campaign in Philly in early July when we saw no goals. Previously, the Union and Bulls played three matches last season, twice in the MLS and once in the League Cup, and Philly won each occasion.

Believe it or not, the Red Bulls didn’t win against these rivals in the previous 13 games, and we think the time has come for them to end this negative streak. NYRB is one of the best home teams in the league, while Philly presented mediocre results away from their turf.
