What to expect
We expect about 1.6 goals from New York Red Bulls and 1.6 from Philadelphia Union, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 3.2 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
New York Red Bulls come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Under 4.5 goals. We make this around 3.2 goals (xG 1.6-1.6), so the line leaves room: it takes five or more to beat us, keeping it under more often than not (about 82%).
We put the chance of that landing at about 82 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.31, which works out at about 76 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.

One thing to watch
Cagey games can burst open late, and a couple of goals in the closing stages would be enough to catch this out.
