Orlando City, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The home side slumped to a 3-1 defeat against New England Revolution last week and has a point to prove in this match.

Orlando City vs Philadelphia Union Prediction

Philadelphia Union have been in exceptional form over the past year but will be hurting from their defeat last week. Daniel Gazdag is yet to hit his stride in the MLS this season and will look to make an impact in this match.

Orlando City have also stepped up this season and will be intent on keeping their formidable opponents at bay. Philadelphia Union are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
