The action in Major League Soccer is now coming thick and fast, while the action in general is almost non-stop for the likes of the New York Red Bulls and the Philadelphia Union, who will clash at Red Bull Arena on Saturday evening having both been involved in the US Open Cup during the week. Not for the first time this week, these two teams will get down to business. On Wednesday evening, they met in the quarters of America's premier domestic cup competition, and it was the Union who prevailed by three goals to two, thanks in no small part to goals from Milan Iloski and Olwethu Makhanya, which paved the way for a late turnaround. Now on the road, can they repeat that trick? Or will the Red Bulls gain revenge for that disappointing defeat?

Our New York Red Bulls vs Philadelphia Union Prediction

Given what we've seen from these two teams in recent weeks, it's not difficult to conclude that this is likely to be a game that both have pinpointed as one to attack. We've seen both the hosts and the visitors struggle massively to keep teams out, so we really shouldn't be surprised to see a relatively high-scoring game develop at Red Bull Arena. After all, both teams arrive in strong offesnve form too, and Im just not sure that the early market is reflecting that accurately enough. Oh, and let's not forget that they just met in the US Open Cup, sharing five goals. Our New York Red Bulls vs Philadelphia Union Pick: Over 2.5 Goals.

Prediction:
