Philadelphia Union vs FC Cincinnati Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

 by Bradley Gibbs | in Major League Soccer Picks

Two teams that made winning starts to the new Major League Soccer campaign will clash at Subaru Park on Saturday evening, with the Philadelphia Union taking on FC Cincinnati. 

For the Union, it was high-scoring stuff in Orlando, with Bradley Carnell's men notching four times to take all three points back to Philadelphia. It's fair to say that they didn't cover themselves in defensive glory during the opening weekend, but they were extra clinical offensively, so it didn't matter. They've now had a full week to prepare for this fixture, which is not something that can be said for the visitors. 

Having made a winning start to the 2025 MLS campaign by beating the Red Bulls in front of a home crowd last weekend, Saturday's visitors were faced with the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions League fixture with Honduran side Motagua. They could only muster a 1-1 tie against the minnows, but that was more than enough to ensure qualification, with them winning the first leg by four goals to one. After those mid-week exploits, will they be geared up for the test at Subaru Park? We'll soon find out.

Philadelphia Union - FC Cincinnati Key Points

  1. Daniel Gazdag started the season in the right way last weekend, scoring against Orlando.
  2. No Philadelphia Union player scored more goals than Daniel Gazdag last season.
  3. During the previous MLS campaign, Gazdag averaged 0.61 goals per 90 minutes.
  4. Daniel Gazdag also averaged a rather encouraging 0.53 xG per 90 minutes last season.

Our Philadelphia Union vs FC Cincinnati Prediction

Philly talisman Daniel Gazdag reminded MLS fans of his ability to seriously hurt teams during the opening weekend, much to my own delight, and I'm once again siding with the Union's main man to grab a goal. The visitors may not be as prepared as the hosts, and if that's the case, the crafty Gazdag can take advantage. After all, this is a man who scores for fun when on song and he certainly looked determined to make it another good season last weekend. Throw in his excellent stats from last season, and odds of +165 ahead of a home game against a team that played during the week are worth taking. Our Philadelphia Union vs FC Cincinnati Prediction: Daniel Gazdag to Score.
