Philadelphia Union desperately need points on Sunday, Aug 30 at 1:30 AM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
New York Red Bulls come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Philadelphia Union travel struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. New York Red Bulls won their last outing, while Philadelphia Union suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
Despite playing at home, New York Red Bulls face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Philadelphia Union have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in New York Red Bulls won 1–0.
Verdict: The gulf in league position makes New York Red Bulls clear favorites, but Philadelphia Union have shown they can grind out results. Expect New York Red Bulls to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
