Philadelphia Union vs FC Dallas tips and predictions

Hosts too short to pick

FC Dallas are certainly up against it in this clash but they can win. It's just a bit of fun this one as there is just no value in the home win price.

With some lacklustre displays, the hosts might be wanting better returns here. In defence, Philadelphia Union's performances have sometimes lacked something. They conceded two or more goals in 3 of their last 5 matches. If they run in to any selection issues here they could be in trouble.

If the away players are on form they could get an unlikely result against the odds. FC Dallas have notably won 4 of their last 9 outings. Their decent results have been underpinned by how they've been playing in the final third. They've scored at least once in all of their last 12 games. And to get anything from the game they'll have to contribute more goals to that number. Their recent defensive prowess could be a key for them too. They have conceded no more than once in all of their last 3 matches.

Pulling off the win might be unrealistic but they can pinch something here. Perhaps the draw is more likely. Philadelphia Union are the favourites and they will be keen to keep a clean sheet. It is not the best value available in today's previews but the No BTTS bet seems good. And for fans of the goal line, it's Under 2.5 that stands out here given the current prices.

The results database shows that The U have only won 2 of the last 15 games between these two teams.
