Philadelphia Union and DC United will lock horns in a thrilling soccer matchup on Saturday night at Subaru Park. The hosts are enjoying a solid start to the 2025 regular season, sitting in the fifth spot with 16 points from nine matches. They were excellent against Atlanta United last weekend, winning 3-0 despite losing Jovan Luckic to a 56th-minute red card. With a man down, they tripled their advantage in the 84th minute through Tai Baribo. It was a good all-round performance.
DC United, meanwhile, are 13th in the East with nine points. Troy Lesesne's men ended their four-game slide last weekend with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over New York Red Bulls on the road. They took a two-goal lead through Joao Peglow's first-half strikes before letting one in in the 57th minute. DC United showed exceptional commitment to win this matchup despite seeing only 32% of the ball. Another win could be a turning point in their season.

Our Philadelphia Union vs DC United Prediction
Bradley Carnell's side comes into this game as the -139 betting favorite. Their striker, Tai Baribo, is in exceptional form this season, scoring seven goals already in this campaign. Collectively, they have been one of the sharpest attacking teams in the East, scoring 16 goals.
This is the joint highest record with Charlotte and Chicago. However, DC United is not faring poorly in attack, scoring 11 goals. Their Belgian forward Christian Benteke already has five goals this season. They should battle hard here, although the odds are against them. A 2-1 or 3-1 for the home side is what we expect.
Our prediction for Philadelphia Union vs DC United: Both teams to score.
