LA Galaxy vs Philadelphia Union Predictions

LA Galaxy have won each of their three home games this season, but face a tricky task in maintaining that run on Sunday when they play host to in form Philadelphia Union. The visitors are unbeaten in their last four matches and, like LA Galaxy, they too have won their last three in the MLS.

LA Galaxy survived an early scare away at Vancouver Whitecaps, when the home side missed a second minute penalty. The visitors held on and went in level at the break goalless, and in the second half scored twice through Steres and Ibrahimovic to earn a 2-0 victory. Philadelphia Union went behind at home to Dallas in the tenth minute, but turned the game on its head in the last few minutes. Burke looked to have earned Philadelphia Union a share of the spoils with his eighty-fifth minute equaliser, but in stoppage time Bedoya scored and the hosts pinched all three points in dramatic style.

The head to head record and performances of both clubs this season, tells us to expect goals from both teams in Sunday’s match and that the game might well end all square. Six of the last seven encounters between these two clubs have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, and two of their last three meetings have ended in draws. Four of LA Galaxy’s last six matches have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, while three of Philadelphia Union’s last six matches have seen both teams score, and three of their last six have also seen over 2.5 goals. Both teams have won their last three matches, but Philadelphia Union have avoided defeat in their last two away games and that’s why we think these two in form teams will draw on Sunday.

Ibrahimović top scores for the hosts with four goals in the MLS so far, while Accam leads the way with three in the league for Philadelphia Union. We’re confident that both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be scored on Sunday, and have predicted a final score of 2-2. Both teams are playing well right now and this fixture has a history of producing goals for both sides, while two of their last three meetings have ended in stalemates.
