More tips for Austin vs Philadelphia Union

In addition to the main prediction, see other betting markets for Austin vs Philadelphia Union in the MLS:

👉 Our prediction is: Philadelphia Union to win the 1st half

The various signs and statistics we have studied point to this being a one-sided affair, with the favoured Philadelphia Union likely coming out on top away from home. Philadelphia Union has simply been the superior team this season, whereas Austin has struggled.

But for some added value, we recommend betting on Philadelphia Union to win the first half, which would bring a higher potential payout.

👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

After scanning the different markets for Austin vs Philadelphia Union, we find that under 9.5 corners is the most eye-catching bet based on the playing profile of the two sides.

We don't foresee much free-flowing attacking football from the two teams, which will greatly reduce the chances of them winning the 10 total corners required to sink this bet.

Correct score prediction for Austin vs Philadelphia Union

Philadelphia Union are the favourites in the odds in this clash. With the available data, we project a narrow win. Probable score: Austin 0-1 Philadelphia Union. The correct result is the market with the highest variance. Bet with awareness.
