Philadelphia Union vs Columbus Crew Prediction & Betting Tips (29 August)

It would be fair to say that Philadelphia Union have been struggling on their own patch of late, with eight of their previous ten MLS fixtures ending in defeat, and they are currently on a run of four games without a goal as well. Columbus Crew had not been in great form on the road themselves prior their next match, but they had still only lost once in seven.

Philadelphia Union are rarely involved in dull encounters, with nine of their previous 12 matches in the second tier serving up a minimum of three goals. The picture has been a similar one when Columbus Crew have taken to the road, as eight of their last nine away games at this level have also been of the over 2.5 goals variety, so expect more of the same.

If nothing else, Philadelphia Union are the great entertainers on their own patch, both scoring and conceding during the same 91 minutes in 14 of their last 17 league fixtures. This is definitely something that Columbus Crew can relate to, as 16 of their previous 20 away matches in the MLS have also delivered goals at both ends, so expect an entertaining encounter.
