Prediction: 2-0
Philadelphia Union
After suffering a 1-0 loss to Orlando City, DC United will be looking to give fans somet cheer when they take on Philadelphia Union at their Audi Field. The capital club have already suffered four defeats in the new MLS campaign, and it should come as no surprise the bookies see them as underdogs in Monday’s clash. To make things even worse for the hosts head coach Hernan Losada has a number of selection worries ahead of the visit of Philadelphia.
The U’s, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over New York Red Bulls. Philadelphia Union are eager to retain their spot in top seven, and they should take advantage of the number of absentees in the home team. A man to watch in the away team will be Jamaica international Cory Burke, who has found his goalscoring touch of late.
