Toronto FC vs Philadelphia Union Prediction: An Easy Win for Philadelphia Union

Toronto FC are back in action this week after a poor resumption to the campaign since the Leagues Cup Tournament ended. Since then, they had lost their last 2 games in the MLS and they are desperate for a win as they prepare to take on Philadelphia Union in the BMO Field.

Philadelphia Union are back in fine form as they recovered in time from the defeat to Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup Semi final, to defeat Monterrey in the 3rd place match and also win their first MLS game since the Leagues Cup. They defeated DC United 3-1 away from home in the MLS and they will be eager to find another win against a struggling Toronto FC side.
