Both teams to score at DC United vs Philadelphia Union 8/11 for Sunday’s MLS matchup

Competition: MLS

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

In a contest that could see a host of chances at both ends of the pitch this weekend, DC United will host Philadelphia Union in the early hours of Sunday.

Starting with the hosts, while DC United might still just about be hanging onto their spot in the Final Series spots, they are in the midst of a real downbeat run of form. In their 21 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, three draws and 10 defeats, scoring 32 and conceding 31 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 27 and opening this weekend’s fixtures sat seventh in the Western Conference, they now find just their goal difference keeping them in the play-off places. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-1 defeat against Atlanta United on home soil, DC United have lost each of their last three MLS matchups on the spin. Likewise, it should also be noted that Sunday’s hosts have seen each of their last five consecutive fixtures finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, still looking to find some much-needed stability at the back end of the campaign, Philadelphia have also gained a reputation for their issues on the road. In their 21 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, eight draws and five defeats, scoring 27 and conceding 20 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 32, The Union open this weekend’s fixtures sat third in the Eastern Conference and holding a five-point buffer over Sunday’s opponents. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw against Montréal on home soil, Philadelphia have managed to win just a trio of their last 11 MLS matchups. More worrying, this weekend’s guests have failed to win any of their last seven straight fixtures on the road. It should be noted, with each of their last four away contests finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
