Although the Philadelphia Union leads the Eastern Conference, the betting odds for their matchup with Cincinnati, second in the Western Conference, on Saturday place Philadelphia as an underdog. This may be due to the fact that, in MLS, Cincinnati beat the Philadelphia Union three times at TQL Stadium in the last three matches they faced them, scoring four goals in two of those wins.
However, Cincinnati, a team with relatively recent history but a winning team in MLS, didn't feel well during the MLS break due to the Leagues Cup, where their good momentum ended with losses to Juárez and Chivas. In MLS, their recent poor results continued, losing to Charlotte as heavy betting favorites and to New York City last matchday.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Union crushed the Chicago Fire 4-0 in their previous match, with goals from Babiro, Wagner, Jean Jacques, and the team's star striker, Milan Iloski. They have been dominant at Subaru Park, but the Philadelphia Union's away form is less impressive; In fact, they haven't won any of their last four road games, despite having a solid defensive record.

Our FC Cincinnati vs Philadelphia Union Prediction
Recent history between Cincinnati and the Philadelphia Union shows that their recent meetings have always been a goal-fest, so much so that in six matches between them, one team has scored four goals.
Although the scoring flow hasn't been as great for either side in August, there are statistics that suggest another high-scoring game could be the case. The Philadelphia Union attempts 11.3 shots per game, and Cincinnati also has a high 10.3.
Additionally, it's crucial to note that Cincinnati will face the conference leader without two of its key defenders: Robinson and Hadebe.
Our prediction for Cincinnati FC vs Philadelphia Union is: Over 3.5 goals.
