Philadelphia Union will be aiming to recover from a dramatic 4-3 defeat to Orlando City when they face Columbus Crew on Sunday morning. As both Philadelphia and Columbus are eager to grab something from the match, we predict a thrilling 3-3 draw. The U's have managed just one win from their last 10 matches and continue to struggle with a lengthy injury list that has disrupted consistency throughout the squad. Home form has been particularly worrying, with Philadelphia failing to win any of their last three at Subaru Park while scoring only once during that stretch. Despite the poor results, their expected goals numbers remain solid, suggesting performances have been slightly better than results indicate.
Columbus Crew also head into this matchup looking for a response after a 3-2 loss to New York Red Bulls. Wilfried Nancy’s side have still been one of the more entertaining teams in MLS recently, averaging 3.5 total goals per game across their last 10 matches while scoring 2.0 goals per outing. Injuries to Abou Ali, Chambost, and Thiare reduce attacking depth, but Columbus still possess enough creativity and quality going forward to trouble a vulnerable Philadelphia defence.
As both sides regularly concede and create chances consistently, our main prediction firmly points toward Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals (Columbus matches average 3.5 total goals recently).
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 17 May 2026 at 00:30.
