Sunday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me remain in the MLS, and I’ve highlighted another goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ New York City FC vs Philadelphia Union
🇺🇸 MLS
⏰ Sunday 16 August, 23:00
Goals look on the cards at Yankee Stadium on Sunday evening as the New York City FC entertain the Philadelphia Union in an all-Eastern Conference clash.
Pascal Jansen’s hosts have scored 31 goals across their opening 18 matches in the MLS this term, with 23 (74%) of them coming in front of their supporters.
The Pigeons have blanked just once at home in the MLS this campaign – scoring 2+ goals in 6/10 (60%) of them – and will be confident of adding to that goal tally against a Union backline that has yet to register a clean sheet on their travels this season, shipping 24 goals.
Ryan Richter’s visitors have scored 25 goals across their opening 18 encounters in the MLS this campaign, with 15 (60%) of them coming on their travels.
The Union have failed to score in just one of their previous eight road trips in the MLS – scoring 2+ goals in four of the past six – and will also be confident of getting on the scoresheet against an NYCFC defence that has kept just one clean sheet across their last nine MLS clashes on home soil.

Bet of the Day
NYCFC’s opening 10 MLS clashes in front of their supporters this season have averaged a whopping 3.80 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals paying out in seven (70%) of them, whilst seven of their past nine have produced goals at both ends.
The Union’s opening nine road trips in MLS this term have averaged a whopping 4.33 goals per game, with Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals landing in seven of the past eight – and I’m backing that trend to continue in New York on Sunday evening.
