In many situations, the last meetings between two teams also serve as a good indicator. In this case, Philadelphia Union has won 5 times, while New England has 2 wins in the last 10 meetings. This recent history can give us an idea of the trend for this upcoming game. Speaking of history, this is always worth considering when making a prediction. As such, it makes no difference for this match, as neither team has had the honor of adding a Major League Soccer trophy to their respective galleries. And given that neither team has managed to win Major League Soccer yet, the weight of the jersey shouldn’t make much difference.

Why bet the Philadelphia Union
So far in the MLS thanks to their responsible approach Philadelphia Union won 8 matches, got 6 defeats and 8 draws, therefore, the fact that after 22 matches they are now among the leaders of the championship is not surprising at all. Their high position is also explained by the goal statistics: 1.3 goals scored and 1 conceded on average per game.
At home (away) matches they are more dangerous after 76-90 minutes, during this period they scored 6 goals, but at the same time from 0-15 minutes of the match, they have obvious problems with the defense of their goal, because they conceded 8 goals. Having such statistics it is worth expecting a beautiful and entertaining game from the team.
Why bet the New England Revolution
This season New England Revolution can’t get enough of delighting their fans with successful performances. After 23 matches, they have 49 points in their assets and are in the 1st position in MLS. They have already recorded 15 wins, 4 losses and 4 draws in their statistics.
New England Revolution is especially consistent for the 76-90 minutes. They have already scored 8 goals, so in this part of the match, their opponents should be more focused. On average, they score 1.9 goals this season, while conceding 1.2 goals per game. Let’s see how the game goes in this match.
Final betting analysis between Philadelphia Union and New England
The Philadelphia vs. New England odds are leaning towards the victory of the home team with just over 40%, a good figure for a team that is fighting to advance to the final of the Concacaf after losing the first leg with America in their visit to the Azteca Stadium. In the Eastern Conference, Philadelphia has performed well enough to be in 5th place in the overall standings with 32 points, 17 behind leaders New England, who have a 33% win probability.
Despite these numbers, the prediction is for a draw considering the recent performance of the visiting team that, despite losing their last match last Saturday by 2 – 0 against NYC FC, has scored 11 goals in the last five games and has a good statistic of four comfortable wins and one loss, results that have them as the sole leader of the Eastern Conference with a lead of 14 points over Orlando City who follows in second place with two games in hand.
The home team has accumulated two wins, a draw, and two defeats in the last five MLS games, with a goal difference of +5, a performance that has it in fifth place in the overall standings. These figures are not convincing at all, and that makes some odds that, in principle, seem very close in what anticipates a very close match, where the draw is presented as a good betting option.
