Philadelphia Union vs FC Dallas Predictions

Philadelphia Union and Dallas have both enjoyed positive starts to the new season, with Sunday’s hosts picking up seven points and Dallas on ten, and both sit fourth in their respective Conference tables. Both clubs were victorious last weekend and head into Sunday’s match full of confidence, which should make for an entertaining ninety minutes.

Two second half goals from Fabián and Accam proved enough for Philadelphia Union to pick up all three points from their trip to Cincinnati last time out, and the visitors deserved the victory after having more possession and creating more goal scoring opportunities. Real Salt Lake and Dallas put on a six-goal thriller at the Rio Tinto Stadium, where goals from Gruezo and Pomykal saw the visitors lead 2-1 at the break. Pomykal scored his second of the game in the sixty-fourth minute to put Dallas 3-1 up, but two minutes later the hosts pulled a goal back. Dallas restored their two goal advantage and wrapped up the three points in the sixty-ninth minute when Ferreira made it 4-2.

The performances of these two clubs in the early stages of the new MLS season and their head to head record, all suggests that Dallas are in with a very good chance of taking something from Sunday’s game. Dallas have only lost two of their last seven matches against Philadelphia Union, and the visitors have only lost one of their five trips to the Talen Energy Stadium. Philadelphia Union have lost two and drawn one of their five MLS games this season, while Dallas have only lost one of their five MLS games this season. Both teams are playing well which is why we aren’t backing an out and out Dallas win, and a double chance bet covers both the draw and an away win on Sunday.

Accam top scores for the hosts with three goals in his opening five matches for Philadelphia Union, while Barrios and Pomykal have both scored two goals each for Dallas. We’re confident that Dallas will take something from this match and have backed the visitors with a double chance bet, and for the scoreline to end 1-1. Dallas have a good record against Philadelphia Union and have only lost one of their five away games against this particular opponent, but both teams have made good starts to the season which is why we think the scoreline will end all square.
