New York City v Philadelphia Union prediction

What to expect

We expect about 1.7 goals from New York City and 1.1 from Philadelphia Union, so New York City come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.9 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Philadelphia Union come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: New York City (Draw No Bet). New York City are favoured here (xG 1.7-1.2), and draw-no-bet takes the sting out of it: if the game finishes level your stake comes back, so only a New York City defeat beats you.

We put the chance of that landing at about 72 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.70, which works out at about 59 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

What the numbers say
New York City have won two of their last five.
Philadelphia Union have won three of their last five.

One thing to watch

A draw hands your stake back, so only an outright Philadelphia Union win beats you — but on the day nothing is guaranteed.
