Orlando City SC vs Philadelphia Union Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

Prediction published on 9/30/24, 7:30 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 9/30/24 at 8:38 PM in Major League Soccer Picks

Three games remain for both Orlando City and Philadelphia Union when they face each other. The visitors have a greater urgency as they currently hold the 9th and final spot that gives them a ticket to play in the MLS Play-In in a difficult regular season finale for them as they will only face teams above them in the standings.

Philadelphia Union had three visits after playing the Leagues Cup for MLS and won very meritoriously in two of them against the two New York teams. This is a team very dependent on what the Hungarian Gazdag can do in attack and is tied for 3rd on the list of most goalscorers in MLS with 17 goals. Almost always, a good performance and presence in attack from Gazdag results in a win for Philadelphia Union. However, the Hungarian had a lackluster last game and this resulted in a 1-1 draw against Atlanta Utd when they were favorites to win with odds of up to 1.61.

A draw is not good news for Curtin's team, as after a draw in MLS they always lost the next game the last three times they got 1 point.

Orlando won 4 of their last 6 games in MLS, in 5 of those games they always scored or allowed 3 goals.
