Philadelphia Union
All eyes will be on Audi Field when DC United and Philadelphia Union square off against each other in an eagerly-awaited MLS game. The capital club did well to beat Seattle Sounders at the weekend, with the team putting an end to their three-game winless run, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Philadelphia Union. A man to watch in the home team will be Christian Benteke, who scored a brace at the weekend, while all Conner Antley, Theodore Ku-DiPietro, and Russell Canouse remain in the recovery room.
The U’s, on the other hand, aim to recover from back-to-back defeats to Real Salt Lake and Seattle Sounders. As the visitors are likely to adopt an attack-oriented strategy against DC United, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Isaiah LeFlore and Holden Trent are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
