San Diego FC host Philadelphia Union at Snapdragon Stadium on Sunday, September 13 (9:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM CT / 6:00 PM PT).

Philadelphia Union also have a clean bill of health, with Milan Iloski’s 11 goals leading their attack alongside Cavan Sullivan’s 4 from midfield.

San Diego FC’s +6 goal difference against Philadelphia Union’s -3 points to the tighter unit at the back, though neither side has looked capable of a routine shutout in recent weeks.

San Diego FC vs Philadelphia Union Prediction

Both clubs arrive locked at ninth in their conference, San Diego FC with 30 points in the West and Philadelphia Union with 27 in the East, so every point here carries playoff weight. Ingvartsen’s clinical edge in front of goal (11 goals for the season) allied with Dreyer’s supply (54 chances created) should be enough to see off a Union side who counter through Iloski’s own 11-goal return. Expect goals at both ends, but San Diego FC to close it out 2-1 at home.
