Philadelphia Union vs FC Dallas Prediction and Betting Tips | September 27th 2023
Major League Soccer returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Philadelphia Union and FC Dallas go head-to-head at Subaru Park on Wednesday.
Nico Estevez’s men head into the midweek tie on a run of three consecutive wins against the home side and will look to continue in the same vein.
Philadelphia Union earned a share of the spoils once again as they played out a goalless draw against Los Angeles FC last Saturday.
Jim Curtin’s men have now played out three straight draws, stretching back to a 4-1 victory over New York Red Bulls at Subaru Park on September 4.
With just five games to go before the end of the regular season, the Union are well on course to secure post-season football as they sit fourth in the Eastern Conference table.
Elsewhere, FC Dallas were denied successive MLS wins for the first time since May as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Columbus Crew on Saturday.
This followed a 3-1 victory over Real Salt Lake at America First Field on September 21 which saw their three-match winless run come to an end.
With 39 points from 29 matches, Estevez’s side are currently ninth in the Western Conference table, one point above 10th-placed Sporting Kansas City just outside the playoff qualifier places.
