Philadelphia Union head into their MLS match against Charlotte FC in sublime form. They've won their last eight consecutive matches, and haven't lost in MLS since defeat to Inter Miami back in May. A superb return for the Union, who still have hopes of breaking into the top four in the overall standings and with it a place in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Charloote FC will also have hohpes of achieving the same thing, though their recent form isn't as impressive. The Crown have lost two of their last three, and head into this one on the back of a defeat away at Columbus Crew.

The manner in which the Union are winning their games is just as impressive as their results. They're scoring goals for fun, with 23 goals scored in their last six matches. Goals have also been a feature of Charlotte's most recent results, with five of their last six matches featuring over 2.5 goals.

It's with the goals market that we've based our prediction. We think this game will provide goals galore, which is why we've picked over 3.5 goals in this one.
