Another of Wednesday's MLS fixtures sees the Philadelphia Union and the New York Red Bulls meet. The two Eastern Conference teams will clash at Subaru Park, where the hosts will be looking for a first success of the season, tying three and losing three of their six home games in 2026. The Red Bulls went into the World Cup pause in much better shape, while they've done well on the road in recent times too, so Michael Bradley's men should be feeling more confident than their hosts, who are without a win in eight games overall.
Before the World Cup break, Hall looked like a man on a mission, so it's likely that he's raring to go now that Major League Soccer is back. On several occasions this season, including at home against NYRB's rivals NYCFC, we've seen the Union struggle to keep it tight at the back, especially when guarding (or failing to) against the break, so do not be surprised if this speedy youngster does some damage. At odds of +195, he goes down as a solid scorer bet.

Our Philadelphia Union vs New York Red Bulls Prediction
in MLS in 2026, few players have impressed as much as teenage sensation Julian Hall, who has burst onto the scene for the New York Red Bulls, scoring nine goals, notching three in his last three. The youngster is pacey, direct, great at running in behind, while he's also very clinical for a player so young. Deadly on the break, given how strong he's looked this season, the 18-year-old is well worth betting on to notch against a Philly team that has often looked weak defensively in similar games.
Our Philadelphia Union vs New York Red Bulls Pick: Julian Hall to Score.
