Philadelphia Union and Columbus Crew, separated by six points in the MLS Eastern Conference, are scheduled to face off this Sunday. From the opening 19 matches, Philadelphia are on top and Columbus Crew fourth. We have a prediction for this match.
Both sides are coming from wins in their last two outings. For Columbus Crew, that was at home to Atlanta United, serving win number nine of their league season.
The 3-1 outcome also meant they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 matches. At the same time, though, they failed to score just once in the same period.
Philadelphia are coming off a hard-fought 1-0 win at Chicago Fire. The Union had to protect their slim lead from the 10th minute, grabbed through Bruno Damiani’s penalty goal.
In the end, once again the defence stood out as the visitors secured a slim, one-goal lead. It was the third time in four matches that this happened, having earlier won 2-1 against Charlotte and Toronto.
Philly have the second-best defence in the Eastern Conference, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t consistently breached. In seven of their last 10 matches, both teams scored. Four times in their nine league matches this season, both teams scored.
