Columbus Crew II and Philadelphia Union II meet on Sunday, Jul 19 at 12:00 AM in the MLS Next Pro.
Columbus Crew II come into this fixture in red-hot form (5W from last 5). Philadelphia Union II travel in good form (3W 0D 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Columbus Crew II face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Philadelphia Union II have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Columbus Crew II clear favorites, but Philadelphia Union II have shown they can grind out results. Expect Columbus Crew II to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
