New York City will be eager to extend their unbeaten MLS run to four games when they welcome Philadelphia Union to the Big Apple. The hosts have shown encouraging form recently and have won 50% of their last 10 home matches, scoring 1.75 goals per game at their own ground. NYCFC have also found the net in every one of their previous five home outings, while BTTS landed in 75% of those matches. Summer signing Benie Traore is expected to make his MLS debut, although the hosts continue to deal with a lengthy injury list.
Philadelphia Union, meanwhile, are riding a three-game winning streak in MLS and are likely to stick with their aggressive attacking approach. The U’s have scored 1.9 goals per game across their last 10 matches, while an impressive 70% of those games saw both teams find the net. However, their away form is a major concern, as Philadelphia have lost all four of their last away matches, conceding a staggering 3.25 goals per game. Martinez and Ndinga are doubtful. The H2H record also promises an entertaining encounter, with 64% of the previous 28 meetings producing BTTS.
BTTS landed in 70% of NYCFC’s and Philadelphia’s last 10 games, as well as 64% of the H2H meetings. Therefore, Both Teams to Score seems like the best betting option for this MLS game, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 16 August 2026 at 23:00.
