MLS - NYCFC @ Philadelphia Union
(MLS) New York City FC vs. Philadelphia Union,
Total: 2.50 | -112.00 Over
Result: Win
I'm going with the Over in this matchup, with Philadelphia coming off a 2-0 win over a tough road win over Nashville FC and back at home 3 days later to host a NYCFC team that has scored in 4 of their last 5 road games and is trending in the right direction before the Tournament break. Philadelphia showed resilient defense Wednesday but I wont reframe from NYCF possibly getting a goal in, as they will need to be able to attack efficiently with the way Philadelphia has ran up the number at home by scoring 11 goals in the last 5 home matches (Averaging nearly 2 goals scored per home game this entire season). NYCFC's defense is shot, and they allow a goal + per game this season overall and will likely give up two to the Philly Union on Saturday at the very least. We could sweat the 3rd goal, but these teams have gone over the total of 3 goals 4 of the last 5 meetings, and NYCFC were better defensively in those previous years.
