In an interesting turn of events, Philadelphia Union and Columbus Crew will clash in the MLS some days after doing so for the Leagues Cup.
The Union beat Maztlan on penalties for the international competition, and, for the MLS, they last beat Nashville.
The Crew got the better out of NYC FC, also by penalties, but their last MLS clash ended in an underwhelming defeat as visitors against Atlanta United.

Why Bet on the Philadelphia Union?
Philadelphia Union will be the visitor in the Leagues Cup but local on Wednesday for the MLS. They are 10th in the league with six wins, nine draws, and ten losses.
Philadelphia reached the Leagues Cup semifinals with a penalty shootout win over Liga MX outfit Mazatlan. Mikael Uhre’s first-half effort was canceled out by Jesus Escoboza’s header in the second half, but the Union would reach the last four with a 4-3 win in penalty kicks.
Now, they will have a difficult task trying to beat one of the best teams in the MLS for the international competition. Either way, their results have been remarkable lately, being unbeaten in seven games counting all competitions.
Why Bet on the Columbus Crew?
The visitors are 3rd in the Eastern Conference, with 12 wins, seven draws, and four losses, keeping the kind of level that helped them raise the MLS Cup trophy in 2023.
Columbus Crew has had two wins, a draw, and two losses in their recent last five games for the league. However, they are unbeaten in their three Leagues Cup matches, considering that they entered the competition in the round of 32 as US champions. In their sole friendly summer match, they got an excellent 4-1 win over Aston Villa from the Premier League.
The team is not as consistent as they would desire, but their 22 goals against in the MLS make them the best defense by far of the competition, something that will be of great help in their next challenges.
Final Betting Analysis: Philadelphia Union vs. Columbus Crew
In the previous 34 matches, there is a slight advantage for the Crew, with 15 wins against 13 by the Union. However, the issue for the visitors is that they have been unable to beat Philadelphia in the last seven matches, with their previous win against this rival going back to 2020.
This will be a difficult challenge for both teams as they’ll be facing today as well, with all the implications it could have. However, it’s clear that the team from Pennsylvania has been torn on the side of the defending MLS champions in recent times, at least league-wise, so we’ll go for a draw. Bet on a 1-1.
Go for a draw at 3.8. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $280 for a total payout of $380.
