Philadelphia arrive with the stronger recent sequence at 2W 2D 1L from their last five, while New York have gone 1W 1D 3L. That edge matters in a matchup where both sides have scored 31 league goals, but the Union have been a little more productive lately.

There is still a route for New York if they can turn home territory into pressure. They have scored 17 times in 11 home league matches, while Philadelphia have conceded 27 in 11 away fixtures. The problem for the Red Bulls is their own home defending - 20 conceded in those 11 games - which keeps the visitors in front in the match prediction.
