Philadelphia Union vs NY Red Bulls prediction: Draw the probable outcome
Key Stats
- Philadelphia are undefeated in 10 straight competitive home games (W7, D3).
- The Union have failed to score in back-to-back matches, losing both games.
- NY Red Bulls are winless in four league games on the trot (D3, L1).
- The Red Bulls have failed to win four of their last five away MLS matches (D2, L2).
Correct score prediction: Philadelphia 1-1 NY Red Bulls
As Philadelphia prepare to meet NY Red Bulls for the first time this year in any competition, the stakes are high as Bradley Carnell’s men look to end their recent run of back-to-back losses. However, the hosts will take inspiration from the fact that they are unbeaten at Subaru Park in eight league games on the run. Meanwhile, sitting 10 points behind the Union, Sandro Schwarz’s side are themselves on the hunt for a first win in five league games. But the team from the Big Apple have a dismal away record this calendar year, thus we foresee the two clubs sharing spoils in a hard-fought draw.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Home advantage speaks volumes
- HOME: 4/5 (1.80) – 55.5%
- DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
- AWAY: 11/4 (3.75) – 26.6%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Philadelphia enter this clash as slight favourites to snatch all three points at home, backed by odds of 4/5 (1.80), suggesting a 55.5% chance of triumph. One can assume this is largely due to their superior home record of just one loss in 10 games they’ve hosted.
The visitors are deemed as underdogs by bookmakers, drawing odds of 11/4 (3.75), indicating a minority 26.6% win probability rate for the Red Bulls. Their last triumph away from home dates back to the end of May, when they beat DC United 2-0.

Philadelphia preview: Can they extend their impressive home record?
Victory is the need of the hour for Carnell and co. However, the South African coach will have to deal with the absence of Ian Glavinovich due to a knee injury, while Jesus Bueno, Francis Westfield and Mikael Uhre are all questionable to start.

Player to watch: Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting
/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.footballwhispers.com%2Fmain%2F2025%2F07%2Fimago1062531243.jpg)
The Cameroon international has been one of NYRB’s brightest players this season with 11 goals and two assists. Choupo-Moting might have fired blanks against San Jose, but back him to get on the scoresheet against Philadelphia, who he faces for the first time since moving to NYRB at the start of the year.
