Having returned to MLS action following the Leagues Cup pause with a defeat at home to FC Dallas, the Austin FC boys bounced back with a midweek win over the Seattle Sounders, coming out on top by two goals to one. For the Philadelphia Union, the Leagues Cup break was followed by a success against NYCFC, but the team visiting Q2 Stadium on Saturday evening couldn't follow with another win, instead tying 2-2 against Inter Miami.
The best way to play this game in the betting is 'Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score', which is available (at the time of writing) at odds of -115. If we look at the recent efforts of both, it's not overly difficult to conclude that such a bet is a little more likely than such odds would have us believe. For starters, the hosts have been scoring plenty of goals of late, but the cracks in their defense were exposed during the week. The same can be said for the visitors, who've been in hot scoring form, but they too come here having conceded more than their fair share. A goal-filled game is worth plumping for.
