Prediction: 1-1
Philadelphia Union
DC United were hoping for immediate returns when they signed Wayne Rooney recently. However, they were defeated in their last game by the New York Red Bulls by a single goal. Philadelphia is on a roll with four straight wins, two of which came against teams above them in the Eastern Conference table. The game will be played at Washington’s Audi Field, where DC United have three victories in a row and a total of 12 victories this season out of 17 games played. The United players will bank on the home advantage against the Union. Still, DC United have managed just one win against Philadelphia in their last five head-to-heads with their overall H2H record being a tie. Wayne Rooney might be the difference for United on game night, but it’s too close to call. Taking everything into consideration, we predict the end result will be a tie.
