Bitesize Prediction: Philadelphia Union vs DC United – 04/08/23

Market: Philadelphia Union win

Odds: 8/11 @

Two sides who will be looking to extend on their Leagues Cup adventure in the early hors of Friday, Philadelphia will welcome DC United to Subaru Park this weekend.

Starting with the hosts, breezing their way to the Leagues Cup knockout stage last month after a pair of rampant displays, Philadelphia are certainly enjoying an extended flurry. Signing off their group stage run with a stellar 5-1 romp against Queretaro on home soil, the Union won each of their opening two Leagues Cup showdowns by an aggregate score of 8-2. Likewise, heading into the MLS’ month interval with a 2-1 win against New York City, Jim Curtin’s men have once again impressed many across America this season. Winning each of their last four straight appearances across all competitions and really finding a clinical edge in the final third, it should also be noted that Philadelphia have gained a reputation for their continued success in front of their own supporters. Including a 4-1 victory against Inter Miami back on June 25th, Friday’s hosts have suffered just a single defeat at Subaru Park so far this season.

As for the visitors, while DC United might have clawed their way to the Leagues Cup knockout stage, Wayne Rooney’s men have continued to struggle with their consistency this season. Last seen putting in another worrying display as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming at the hands of U.N.A.M, the former Derby boss has seen his side win just a trio of their previous 10 appearances across all formats a run that stems back to June 4th. Facing a real test in their battle to claim a play-off ticket in the Eastern Conference this season, the Blacks have shown a string of issues away from Audi Field in 2023. On a run that is highlighted by a 4-0 drumming at the hands of New England last month, DC United have lost four of their previous six showdowns outside of Washington. Mustering just one win from their previous nine meetings against Philadelphia, we are backing a home victory here.
