Orlando City took a nice away win over Columbus and have been really hitting it off lately. They will now return home after two away matches, and will host Eastern Conference leaders Philadelphia Union on Wednesday. Philadelphia have not been in very good shape lately, especially on the road.

Orlando City (6-8-3) were really quiet in their away match against Columbus but scored a goal in each half to win by 2-0. They have been really great lately, losing just once in their last five (3-1-1). Orlando are sitting 8th in the East with 21 points, two behind Toronto and one ahead of New England. They have not been very strong at home so far (3-4-1), keeping just one clean sheet so far. Philadelphia Union (9-5-5) took the lead twice in the first half of their away match against NYCFC but folded in the second half and eventually lost by 2-4. They have not won any of their last three (0-1-2) and have dropped out of the Cup in the process. Even so, Philadelphia are still leading the Eastern Conference with 32 points, now just one ahead of DC United. They have a balanced 3-3-3 record on the road and just one clean sheet.

The MLS head to head record between the two teams is also a 3-3-3, while Philadelphia have one more win for the US Open Cup last season. Orlando are undefeated as hosts against Philadelphia (1-0-3) and they might hold again, but I do see goals from both sides. Going with the Over 2.75 Goals here.
