Toronto FC v Philadelphia Union Tips

Philadelphia Union's excellent form, strong away record (two consecutive away wins), and their high pressing style, combined with Toronto FC's extensive injury list and crucial suspensions (Bernardeschi, Thompson), make the Union the clear favorites. Toronto's recent home struggles are also a significant concern.

Philadelphia Union drew three of their last six matches in all competitions. The last eight meetings between these teams produced two draws and three wins apiece.

I will take a chance on Toronto, even though they have been poor, especially at home. They do have an excellent record against Union, winning 4 of their last 5 home games against them.

Five consecutive matches hosted by Toronto FC against Philadelphia Union have had a score total of beyond 2 goals. The two have a high scoring streak and will therefore score more today.

While Toronto had a 6-1 outlier, many of their recent matches, and generally MLS games, tend to be lower scoring. Philadelphia's defense has been solid, and Toronto's attacking absences will likely limit their output. The Opta trend for Toronto's matches suggests 'Under 2.5 Goals' is common.

Both teams to score here. Recent games between the two teams here have had both teams scoring in all of the last six games.

No. Philadelphia’s strong defense is likely to shut down Toronto’s attack, while Toronto’s defensive efforts could limit Philadelphia’s scoring. A clean sheet for one side is a strong possibility.
