Football Bet of the Day: Head Stateside on Saturday Night for Goals

Looking to return to winning ways after a couple of disappointing evenings, Saturday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me head to the MLS this evening, and there is one fixture in particular that appeals to me for both goals.

⚽️ DC United vs Philadelphia Union

🇺🇸 MLS

⏰ Sunday 5th April, 00:30

Two clubs separated only by goal difference in the Eastern Conference table meet at Audi Field this evening as 8th-placed DC United play host to the Philadelphia Union in a fixture that appeals to me for goals.

Troy Lesesne’s hosts have 14 goals across their opening 10 MLS fixtures this term, with nine (64%) of them coming on home soil.

The Eagles have found the back of the net in all five of their MLS contests in front of their supporters – notching on multiple occasions in three (60%) of them – and will be confident of continuing their goal-scoring run at home against a Union defence that has recorded a solitary shutout this season, shipping multiple goals in 5/9 (56%) of them.

Jim Curtin’s visitors have scored 17 goals across their opening nine MLS fixtures this term, with 10 (59%) of them coming on their travels.

The Union have found the back of the net in each of their opening nine (100%) MLS outings – scoring on multiple occasions in seven (78%) of them – and will look to continue their impressive goal-scoring start to the MLS season against a DC backline that has kept just two clean sheets this campaign, shipping multiple goals in 5/10 (50%) of them.

Bet of the Day

Philadelphia Union’s opening nine MLS fixtures this campaign are averaging 3.44 goals per game, with Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals banking in seven (78%) of them – and given the same has landed in 4/5 (80%) of DC’s MLS matches on home soil – I’m happy to have a punt on there being a minimum of three strikes in the capital, with both sides contributing.

• Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals
• Pays 17/20 (Betway)
