This has the potential to be an exciting game as Philadelphia Union have their expected home advantage, while Orlando City lead them by 6 points in the Major League Soccer standings.
- Philadelphia Union have the fewest matches over the total-line (7) in Major League Soccer
- Orlando City have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It's no vacation for neither Philadelphia nor Orlando City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Orlando City have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Philadelphia Union form and stats
Philadelphia Union have played 12 Major League Soccer games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-3-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Philadelphia Union's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus América. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Jamiro Monteiro for missing a penalty kick versus América in the 49th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
Before that game, the home loss against New England with the scoreline 0-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Philadelphia have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won seven times, drawn one and lost three.
Philadelphia has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. From these home matches, Philadelphia have conceded only 9 goals.
Orlando City form and stats
3-4-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Orlando City in their Major League Soccer matches away.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Major League Soccer home defeat versus Montreal Impact with 2-4 on the scoreboard. Ruan, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.05. Ruan scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 3 of 5 duels. As you can tell from the result, the match against Montreal Impact was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Atlanta United's place.We have checked recent matches where Orlando have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were two victories, one draw and four defeats.
Orlando City have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 12 goals have been scored. Orlando City have conceded 20 goals in these games.
