Q2 Stadium will host a crucial playoff battle as Austin FC welcome Philadelphia Union, with both sides knowing that dropping points could prove costly. Austin head into the game on the back of a 2-1 win over Seattle Sounders and have won 60% of their last five home matches. The hosts have also scored an average of 2.00 goals per home game during that run, while keeping two clean sheets. Owen Wolff is a major doubt.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, arrive after an entertaining 2-2 draw with Inter Miami and remain firmly in the playoff race. The Union have won 50% of their last 10 matches and boast an impressive attacking record, scoring 2.00 goals per game. Their away fixtures have been particularly open, averaging 5.33 total goals, although they have conceded three per match on the road. Cavan Sullivan is suspended following his sending-off in the midweek clash.
Union away games average 5.33 goals and given Austin's need for points, BTTS seems like the safest betting option, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 23 August 2026 at 02:00.
