Player to watch: Daniel Gazdag
Top scorer Gazdag is the player to watch in our Philadelphia Union vs Colorado Rapids prediction because if there’s one player who has a guaranteed spot among the starters for Philly, it’s him. The Hungarian attacking midfielder slid it past MLS shot-stoppers on 14 occasions thus far. We are sure he will do well against the Rapids as well.
Second player to watch: Rafael Navarro
If coach Curtin wants to get the bronze, he’d have to nullify Navarro. The latter already scored 11 goals in MLS.
