Philadelphia Union vs Colorado Rapids Predictions

Union can see off Rapids

Philadelphia Union look the best bet when they host Colorado Rapids at PPL Park. The Union have enjoyed three straight MLS successes at home and can secure another victory here.

They have won 14 games, drawn five and lost five this season, while Colorado Rapids have eight wins, six draws and ten defeats. The hosts are 17 points superior to the visitors.

The Union have been impressive in front of goal this season, scoring two goals or more in 13 of their 24 games. They have netted 26 times at home, averaging over two goals a game from their 12 matches.

Their defence is rock solid. No MLS side has shipped fewer goals than the 23 that Philadelphia Union have conceded in their 24 games this season.

The hosts are hitting their stride, with Philadelphia Union unbeaten in their last ten MLS home games. They have been winners in six of the last eight at PPL Park.

The visitors are enduring a rough spell. Colorado Rapids have not won any of their last eight MLS away games.

The Colorado Rapids defence is not inspiring confidence, with the visitors conceding on each of their last nine MLS road trips.

A narrow 2-1 victory for Philadelphia Union looks the most likely outcome when they host Colorado Rapids. The hosts have won eight of their MLS games this season by the odd goal and three of Colorado’s ten defeats have come via a 2-1 scoreline.
