Philadelphia Union: Form of the moment, latest results, statistics

He led the Eastern Conference a few steps, but the defeat in the last round brought him back second. He has 24 points, less than DC United, but the best attack. In the previous round, he suffered a further home defeat, 1-3, with Portland Timbers. It was a very defensive play in the game, taking a shot at every dangerous phase of the opponents. He remains, however, the best home team in the East, with 16 points raised from 24 maximum possible. On “Talen Energy” played eight duels, matches in which gave 18 goals and cashed eight, being the band with the most goals scored on his own field.

Colorado Rapids: Form of the moment, latest results, statistics

There’s still a lot of water running on the Colorado River to get Rapids to leave the last Western Conference. She has 8 points, six less than Sporting Kansas City and Portland Timbers, the teams in front of her, but she has an extra game played against them. However, in the last two stages he managed to get out somehow, checking his first two victories this season. He took advantage of Ibrahimovic’s absence and defeated Los Angeles Galaxy 1-0. Later, just a few days ago, Nicolas Mezquida gave the grace just a few minutes before the end of the match with Columbus Crew and Colorado Rapids won 3-2.

Philadelphia Union vs Colorado Rapids Picks

We talk of two totally different teams, Union has three times more wins than the opponent of the Thursday match. Moreover, it is also the team that pulled more at the gate, which says a lot. On the other hand, Colorado Rapids is limited in many ways, and this only makes her always go second. It is one of the teams with the most fouls made, 172, but also with the fewest offsides, 14.

On top of one another, Philadelphia is the better team, the one I expect to win again at home, scoring at least twice.

Our Prediction: Over 1.5

Odds: 1.40
