It's impressive how, after a strange and disappointing start to the season, going from winning the Supporters' Shield to languishing at the bottom of the table, the Philadelphia Union are now back on track, thanks to a splendid 11-game unbeaten streak. Extending that streak to 12 on Saturday would break a franchise record.
It seemed the unbeaten run would come to an end in Kansas City; it seemed almost certain when they fell behind 3-0 in the 16th minute at Children's Mercy Park. But then came a historic comeback, with goals from Damiani, Sullivan, and Iloski, aided by an own goal, turning the game around. This puts the Philadelphia Union in a direct qualification spot.
Now the Boys in Blue face a tough away game at Subaru Park against Orlando City. The Lions are just one spot behind Philadelphia in the standings. They were on a splendid run that ended in mid-September with their loss in the US Open Cup semifinals and their most recent defeat against the New England Revolution.

Our Philadelphia Union vs Orlando City SC Prediction
This is a crucial match for both teams in the playoff race, but it will also be marked by the absence of several players who have left to represent their countries, such as Cartagena, Brekalo, Spicer, and Pasalic for Orlando.
Even so, Orlando will have Griezmann, the legendary French World Cup winner and former Barcelona player, who has made an immediate impact, revolutionizing the attack since his arrival.
Our prediction for Philadelphia Union vs Orlando City is: Over 3.5 goals.
