A place in the Eastern Conference playoffs will be at stake when New York Red Bulls take on Philadelphia Union at Sports Illustrated Stadium. The Metros were held to a 1-1 draw by Chicago Fire last time out and need a victory to move closer to the top seven. Their home numbers are fairly balanced, with 1.33 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game in their last six. Cowell and Mosquera are doubtful.
Philadelphia Union, meanwhile, are enjoying an impressive spell under interim boss Ryan Richter, going six MLS games unbeaten. The U's have scored in eight of their last 10 matches and average 2.00 goals per game overall. However, their away defence has been vulnerable, conceding 2.50 goals per match in their last four road games. Richter has a full squad available for this important playoff battle.
Philadelphia's last four away games average 4.50 goals, pointing towards another open MLS contest. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Over 2.5 goals, alongside BTTS and Philadelphia or Draw (better form).
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 30 August 2026 at 00:30.
