Charlotte FC vs Philadelphia Union Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

The hosts come into this fixture having avoided high-scoring games of late, but they may just have a hard time of keeping the goals down here. In contrast, there has been a steady flow of goals for Philly of late, especially on the road, with three or more being scored in each of their last seven away games, five of which have contained at least four goals. As that away win last time out suggests, we know that the Union will go to Bank of America Stadium and force the issue. They have the players to do just that, and such an approach should open up the game, which should lend itself to goals. The hosts have the offensive quality to profit against a leaky Union back-line, but do they really have the defensive nous to keep things tight? This will be tougher than their recent home assignments, that's for sure. Ultimately, there's enough to suggest that goals are a little more likely than the early odds suggest. Our Prediction: Over 3.0 Asian Goals.
