Before Betting

New York FC played well in the Leagues Cup, but their recent MLS results have been disastrous. The team has not won for eight consecutive matches.

Over the last three, FC took two points, staying unbeaten to Fire, 2-2, and in DC, 1-1, while losing to Columbus on the road, 4-2.

Those games were competitive, with goals on both ends. Their last five MLS contests have ended like that.

Philadelphia has 30 points, three fewer than DC in the ninth place, which leads to the play-in. They also have a game in hand and must exploit that convenience.

Though Union is in bad shape, having won only one match over the past five and losing the remaining four, that’s with the Leagues Cup.

Philadelphia didn’t allow two or more goals in all but one of these meetings, which is a clear sign that the back line has problems.

New York City FC vs. Philadelphia Union Prediction

The FC isn’t playing well, but in this game, they have to win.

The home-court edge and the mediocre rival who is under pressure should be enough for FC to post a victory.
