The Leagues Cup break probably came at the wrong time for the Philadelphia Union, who were building serious momentum in Major League Soccer following the end of the World Cup. Having won three on the spin domestically, the Union came up short against Cruz Azul last time out, though their effort wasn't a bad one. Fortunately, they have a pleasing opportunity to bounce back, hosting a struggling Necaxa team at Subaru Park.
Against a visiting team that has not been traveling at all well, the Union boys could easily be priced a little shorter here. Frankly, odds of +100 look too generous to ignore. There has been plenty to like about the way in which Sunday's hosts have gone about their business at home in recent weeks, and they've scored plenty of goals, which really does bode well given that the visitors have not been anywhere near their best from an offensive point of view in recent away games.

Our Philadelphia Union vs Club Necaxa Prediction
As mentioned above, there really has been plenty to like about the recent home efforts of Ryan Richter's men, who have won each of their last three home games thanks to some superb offensive soccer. If they can deliver the same level of final-third output on Sunday, then they really should have no problem outscoring a Necaxa team that has conceded 12 goals in four away games, scoring only three in reply, losing each of those four.
Based on the recent efforts of both, the hosts should definitely be stronger favorites than early odds of +100 would have us believe.
