Where can I watch it?
Why Bet on the Philadelphia Union?
Hosts Philadelphia Union have been in top form at home, turning Subaru Park into a veritable fortress. Their defensive organization has been particularly impressive, conceding fewer goals at home than any other team in the league. However, it is worth noting that their main argument this season has been their offensive success, as they have scored the most goals (47) so far this season in the MLS Eastern Conference. However, they will be wary that FC Cincinnati has been a thorn in their side in previous meetings.
Currently, the Philadelphia Union sits in fourth place in the East with an excellent record of 14 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses, just 2 points behind New England in second place. In addition, the home team for this match is coming off an excellent 4-1 win over New York RB last time out.
Why Bet on FC Cincinnati?
On the other hand, FC Cincinnati has been an exemplary team all season long, and thanks to their excellent record of 17 wins, 6 draws, and only 4 losses, they lead the overall standings in the MLS Eastern Conference.
However, in recent weeks, the team has not been able to maintain the consistency needed to win several games in a row. As a result, now 9 points separate them from New England at the second place of the conference.
There is no doubt that the Eastern leaders have a good chance of securing first place in the table in the next few rounds, as they deserve it, thanks to their high level of play and consistency throughout the 2023 season.
FC Cincinnati is coming off a tough loss to Orlando City in the previous matchday, with a score of 0-1.
