Player to watch: Daniel Gazdag
There’s no denying that Gazdag is still in the Top Goalscorer Award chase. After all, he bagged 14 goals for his team already. Seeing as he missed a couple of games for Philadelphia Union during the Euro 2024, we believe he actually could’ve been further up the ladder had he played for Philly.
Second player to watch: Jared Stroud
Stroud of DC United is performing his heart out for his team. He’s the leading creator on the team, with eight goals since the start of the season and we believe his presence is a huge boost to our key Philadelphia Union vs DC United betting tips.
