Philadelphia Union host Real Salt Lake at Subaru Park on Saturday, October 10 (7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM PT).
Real Salt Lake arrive at Subaru Park with a clean bill of health, and the same goes for Philadelphia Union, so Saturday’s picture is about form rather than fitness. Union will again build around striker Milan Iloski, who has scored sixteen goals and created forty-five chances this season, with striker Bruno Damiani Píriz and midfielder Cavan Ayaz Sullivan expected to support him. Real Salt Lake’s threat still starts with striker Sergi Solans Ormo, who has scored eleven goals, alongside attacking midfielder Diego Ángel Luna, who leads the visitors with forty-three chances created.
Philadelphia sit sixth in the East on thirty-nine points, firmly in the playoff picture, and arrive on the back of five straight wins that have included a four-two win over Orlando City and a five-nil rout at San Diego. Real Salt Lake are eleventh in the West on thirty-two points, their push complicated by four straight losses before a three-nil win over New England Revolution snapped that run. Subaru Park has become a tough watch for visiting defences this autumn, and with both sides prepared to go forward, this one reads as entertaining rather than cagey.

Philadelphia Union vs Real Salt Lake Prediction
Philadelphia Union’s position, sixth in the East on thirty-nine points, and their current run of five straight wins make them deserving favourites at Subaru Park. Real Salt Lake sit eleventh in the West on thirty-two points and have shown they can still score, even during their rough patch, which points to goals at both ends rather than a shutout. We expect Philadelphia Union to edge it two-one, with Milan Iloski doing the early damage before Real Salt Lake reply and Union see the game out.
