- Philadelphia Union have scored an average of 2.11 goals per match this season.
- New York City FC’s away form includes five wins from their last six road games.
- Philadelphia Union average over 11 corners per match at Subaru Park.
- Both teams have scored in 56% of Union’s matches and 47% of NYCFC’s.
Philadelphia Union’s season has been nothing short of magical. With an average of 2.11 goals scored and only 0.94 conceded per match, they’ve struck the perfect balance between attack and defense. Over 78% of their games have produced more than 1.5 goals, and 67% have gone over 2.5. Their frontman Tai Baribo continues to shine with 18 goals, while Andre Blake anchors the defense with calm authority. Bradley Carnell’s men are unbeaten in 20 straight home games—a record that makes Subaru Park feel like an impenetrable fortress. Still, with New York City in town, there’s no room for complacency.
New York City FC have been the surprise package under Pascal Jansen this year. The Cityzens have managed to grind out results, averaging 1.37 goals scored per game while conceding 1.26. They might not blow opponents away, but their resilience on the road has been impressive, winning five of their last six away matches. Even so, their 47% “Both Teams to Score” rate suggests inconsistency in attack. Losing key players like Alonso Martínez and Andres Perea won’t help, but there’s grit in this squad. They’ve silenced tough crowds before. Can they do it again in Philly? Hard to say, but don’t rule it out.
The numbers suggest an open contest. The Union’s matches average 3.06 total goals, while NYCFC’s sit at 2.63. That’s fertile ground for a lively encounter. Both sides cross the 8.5 corners mark in more than 60% of their matches, so expect end-to-end action and plenty of set pieces. Still, Philly’s dominance at home and superior attacking output make them favorites. Yet, with NYCFC’s knack for counterpunching, one slip could flip the script entirely.
At the end of the day, this isn’t just a tactical chess match, it’s a statement game. Philadelphia’s fans will roar under the lights, while Jansen’s men will aim to spoil the party. A high-tempo, unpredictable battle feels inevitable. And while Philly have the edge on paper, New York’s resilience makes this a match that could easily go either way. One thing’s certain: it won’t be dull. That’s the beauty of the MLS Stats showdown.

Both sides carry enough attacking punch to make this bet appealing. Philadelphia Union average 2.11 goals scored per match, while conceding nearly one per game. Their open style often leaves spaces at the back—especially when pushing forward at Subaru Park. Meanwhile, New York City FC’s recent away form speaks volumes: five wins from six on the road, averaging over a goal per outing. Despite missing key names, Jansen’s team plays bravely, pressing high and breaking in numbers. With Union’s 56% “Both Teams to Score” record and NYCFC’s 47%, this line sits perfectly balanced between safety and value. Given Philly’s home rhythm and New York’s resilience, it’s hard to imagine a clean sheet for either goalkeeper. Expect an energetic contest with both nets rippling at least once.
