One of Saturday's more intriguing Major League Soccer fixtures sees the Philadelphia Union take on the Colorado Rapids at Subaru Park in Chester, Pennsylvania, where the hosts will be searching for a win that could potentially take them to the Eastern Conference summit. Right now, the Union boys find themselves just a single point behind league leaders Cincinnati.
Win here and they could easily go top. During the week, Bradley Carnell's men tied on the road in Houston, but that's not a result to be sneezed at. After all, the hosts are unbeaten in three, while they certainly know how to get it done at home, winning four of their last five in the league, though they have kept just one clean sheet during that time, which should encourage a Rapids team that is far from struggling for goals.
The visitors go into this fixture having scored three in Seattle during the week, which is not something that many teams do, so don't discount Chris Armas' men, who certainly pack a punch.

Our Philadelphia Union vs Colorado Rapids Prediction
I tipped Rafael Navarro to find the net during the week. Sadly, the Brazilian did not score, despite his team notching three goals away against Seattle, though I wouldn't be too quick to write him off. After all, he continued to look lively on Wednesday night, while this is a man who continues to shoot plenty, often after getting into very dangerous positions. Given his overall profile, odds of +220 look a little too generous, so I'm sticking with Navarro to find the net.
