New York Red Bulls host Philadelphia Union in the MLS looking to move into the Round One qualification places. Red Bulls sit just a point behind their New York rivals City and a win in this match against the Union could see them move into the top seven. Philadelphia haven't enjoyed a particularly successful season, winning just five of their 21 MLS matches so far, but they themselves will still fancy their chances of qualifying for a Wild Card spot at least. The Union is in reasonably good form, unbeaten in their last three games. They're up against a Red Bulls side who has only won one of the last six games, losing four of those.

The Union has a great recent record against Red Bulls. Of the last six head-to-heads, Philadelphia has won four and drawn one. For our prediction, we're leaning towards a Union win or a draw. New York Red Bulls are in dire form and this is something The Union could take full advantage of.

Our New York Red Bulls vs Philadelphia Union Prediction

With Red Bulls in a poor run of form, it's difficult to see them getting anything from this game. Despite playing on home soil, we think they'll find it tough against a Philadelphia Union side who are showing signs of improvement. Whether The Union will do enough for all three points is yet to be seen, but we think they'll take at least a point from this one.

Our prediction for New York Red Bulls vs Philadelphia Union is: Philadelphia to Win or Tie
