D.C. United
- D.C. United have won one, drawn three and lost one of their last five MLS games.
- D.C. United have won only two of their 15 home MLS 2025 matches, drawing seven and losing six, so there’s nothing to suggest that they will have a good chance of victory, according to the latest D.C. United (Washington) vs Philadelphia Union prediction.
Philadelphia Union
- Philadelphia Union have won three and lost two of their last five in all competitions.
- On the road, Carnell’s team have won seven, drawn two and lost six of their 15 MLS fixtures, scoring 1.00 and conceding 1.20 goals per game - a slight edge on the away scoring stats and a significant improvement on the defending numbers, which is a key aspect in our D.C. United (Washington) vs Philadelphia Union preview.
Head-to-Head
Philadelphia Union have won two and drawn one of the last three MLS head-to-head matchups, which includes a 3-0 home win over D.C. United five months ago.
Key Players
- Tai Baribo is the key player in the Philadelphia front-line with 16 MLS goals in 27 appearances so far this season, making him a constant threat to opposition defences.
- Christian Benteke is still the primary threat for D.C. United with nine MLS goals in 22 MLS appearances this season, but Jackson Hopkins has been in good form with three in his last five outings and looks to be a bigger spark of inspiration for Weiler’s men.
Betting Insights
- Philadelphia Union are the clear favorites for Saturday’s meeting with D.C. United, but the head-to-head history and the Washington-based side’s recent home form have us siding against the hosts at underdog odds for this matchup, and the D.C. United (Washington) vs Philadelphia Union betting tips suggest looking for alternative markets.
- Their current home record of 0.87 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per match is also bettered by their visitors and we’re expecting both teams to score with -163 a generous price in that market.
