Betting on Philadelphia Union (-143 in Caliente)
The Zolos are the bookmakers’ strongest candidates to win the match. They’re on fire in the domestic league, currently sitting at third place in the Eastern Conference with an impressive record of 40 points that came from 12 wins, four draws, and seven defeats.
They have the second-best offensive record in their division with 39 goals, registering only three less than New England Revolution. It is also worth noting that 23 of them were scored in their home stadium. What’s more, they have won eight of their 11 games in this venue and are undefeated in 12 games with seven consecutive victories.
Philadelphia Union won Group L of this Leagues Cup after great victories against Tijuana (3-1) and Querétaro (5-1). Both matches played in front of their home fans were logical, with at least three goals scored in their last five home games.
Probable lineup (4-3-1-2): Andre Blake; Jakob Glesnes, Damion Lowe, Jack Elliott, Nathan Harriel; José Martínez, Jesús Bueno, Kai Wagner; Dániel Gazdag; Mikael Uhre, Julián Carranza.

Betting on DC United (+425 in Caliente)
Wayne Rooney’s men are in ninth place in the East with 30 points and are currently qualifying for the Playoffs. However, they should not relax as CF Montreal is only one point behind them in the standings.
What gives DC United some hope is the fact that they are the fifth-best away team in the MLS, with four wins and two draws in 12 matches. However, their present performance is quite the opposite, as they have lost four of their six closest matches on the road.
Most alarming of all, the Rojinegros have conceded at least two goals in their five most recent losses. The perfect example of this was their Saturday’s defeat against a Pumas team that snatched the top spot in Group M of the Leagues Cup, defeating them by a resounding 3-0 victory.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Alex Bono; Brendan Hines-Ike, Derrick Williams, Donovan Pines; Ruan, Mateusz Klich, Chris Durkin, Yamil Asad, Gaoussou Samaké; Christian Benteke, Cristian Dájome.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Philadelphia Union vs DC United
Philadelphia Union has been unbeatable against this very opponent at Subaru Park since 2014, boasting an impressive record of nine victories and one draw. What’s even more remarkable is that in all their triumphs, they managed to find the back of the net within the first 45 minutes of play. In three out of the last four games, they even scored three or more goals in the first half! At JefeBet, we confidently predict that history will repeat itself against a significantly weaker contender on paper.
