The team in the hottest form in Major League Soccer will get back down to business on Saturday, when the Philadelphia Union, having won six games on the bounce, will take on Real Salt Lake in front of a home crowd. The hosts are looking to make it seven straight wins, and if they do that, they'll be in a great position regarding the play-offs. RSL, on the other hand, will be looking to improve their postseason position by winning two games straight for the first time since August.
Ever since the Union returned from their Leagues Cup action in August, Bruno Damiani has been on fire, scoring a total of seven goals, averaging 0.85 goals per 90 minutes. Such numbers make the Uruguayan look a little too leniently priced to notch against an RSL defense that has been anything but strong on the road in recent times.

Our Philadelphia Union vs Real Salt Lake Prediction
In recent weeks, Bruno Damiani has been in fabulous form, scoring five in his last four games, failing to net in just one of those. Clearly, this is a man full of confidence in front of goal, and given that he's up against an RSL team that is likely to be on the retreat throughout at Subaru Park, the in-form forward can be fancied to improve his excellent recent record.
Let's put it this way, if Milan Iloski is priced at -110 to score in this game, then Bruno Damiani, who has been just as deadly in recent weeks, should be priced shorter than +155.
Our Philadelphia Union vs Real Salt Lake Pick: Bruno Damiani to Score.
