Philadelphia Union vs Toronto FC Prediction: Home side can’t let this slip away

The MLS 2021/2022 campaign is coming to an end and Toronto FC travel to the Subaru Park to face Philadelphia Union. Philadelphia Union needs to win if they want to maintain their top spot and see off challenge from second place Montreal while Toronto FC are pretty much going to end up in the 13th position despite the result here. Philadelphia Union will want to bounce back from a horrible outing against Charlotte FC, who beat them 4-0. Toronto FC on the other hand have not been able to get a win in their last 5 games. In Fact they have lost all of their last 4 matches leading to this match. Hopefully, Philadelphia won’t have any problems seeing off a challenge from Toronto who are in poor form and away from home.
