Philadelphia Union vs Minnesota United Predictions

• The hosts won an impressive 60% of their home games last campaign and have bolstered their attack.
• Conceded six goals across their last two fixtures in the MLS last season and have had an underwhelming preseason.
• The hosts will want to get off to a strong start and should have too much quality.

High aspirations for hosts

Philadelphia Union were just minutes away from a potential MLS Cup Final appearance a year ago and have finished in the top three of the Eastern Conference in the last three seasons. They’ll be keen to get off to the perfect start when they welcome Minnesota United to Subaru Park on Saturday. They were exceptionally unfortunate last season as COVID-19 had hit nine regular players, but a few months and it’s going to be interesting to see if the ‘U’ can take the next step.

Minnesota are somewhat of an enigma. They have a number of key players who have been together for a long time but yet there is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding them leading into the new campaign. On paper, they have a strong attacking threat but their output was underwhelming last year as they failed to look dangerous or wear teams down. They were heavily reliant on a couple of players last season and will need others to step up if they’re to challenge towards the business end of the campaign.

Philadelphia to claim the spoils

We think this is the perfect match for the hosts to get off to a winning start and get three points on the board. We’re keen to see if Philadelphia Union have what it takes to go all the way this year and we’re siding with them to secure victory.
