Philadelphia Union vs Columbus Crew Prediction and Betting Tips | May 10th 2025
Philadelphia Union will host Columbus Crew at Subaru Park on Saturday in another round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The home side are enjoying a fine run of form in the league and sit second in the Eastern Conference with 22 points as they continue their early push for playoff football.
They picked up a 2-1 away win over Montreal in their last league outing, featuring efforts from Indiana Vassilev and Mikael Uhre, before beating USL Championship side Indy Eleven on penalties to advance in the US Open Cup on Wednesday.
Columbus Crew, meanwhile, have enjoyed an even better start to their season as they look to reclaim the MLS Cup. They beat Charlotte 4-2 in their last match, with four different players getting on the scoresheet for the Crew, including Dylan Chambost, who recorded his maiden league strike.
The visitors, who sit atop the Eastern Conference, are just two points above their weekend opponents and will be looking to at least retain that advantage on Saturday.
