Orlando City have scored more than 1.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 head-to-head meetings with Philadelphia Union. However, their seasonal average of 1.77 goals per match is just below that line.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Two motivated sides from the upper reaches of the table meet here, both capable of producing bright attacking football but prone to defensive errors even in important matches at the business end of the season. The trend of Total Goals - Over 3.5 in each of Orlando City's last six away matches is backed up by both teams' high average scoring rates and Philadelphia's attacking style at home: the Union have been consistently high-scoring for months, while Orlando regularly feature in open, high-scoring games on the road. The editorial's main prediction is Total Goals - Over 3.5.
