We have a feeling that Orlando City will have to put in a great team effort to get a goal against Philadelphia Union, who with effort would have a chance to score a goal and get the win. That’s why we’re leaning towards a 1-0 win for the Philadelphia Union when the referee blows the final whistle. There will be little football today.
