THE PREDICTION
The home team come into this on the back of a 2-1 win away at Orlando City last weekend which means it is now one defeat in their last five matches. Their last two defeats have come against top-of-the-table New England Revolution which should be a good indication that NYRB are in a strong place to reach the playoffs. They come up against a Philadelphia Union side that have been dramatically improved since they entered the long break between rounds in the CONCACAF Champions League. However, the Union have won just one of their last four matches. Given their poor form, as well as the fact you cannot completely trust the hosts, a draw would seem a sensible bet for this one.
