Philadelphia Union have enjoyed a sensational campaign so far and find themselves at the top of the Eastern Conference standings. However, they have lost their last two meetings with Dallas and will be looking to end this dry spell. While we expect the home side to put up a valiant fight, we are tipping Philadelphia Union to steal a slender victory in this one.
