DC United
DC suffered another loss at home this past Wednesday against the New York Red Bulls. They now find themselves in 5th place in the East and with just 39 points. Another loss here could start to put DC in danger of falling out of the playoff picture. They are only in front of 7th by 5 points, so this is a match they need to win.
DC only mustered one goal against the Red Bulls. To be fair, Wayne Rooney was issued a red card in the 24th minute, which hindered their ability on the attacking side of the ball. With Rooney suspended for this match, someone is going to have to step up and be the hero. Who that might be is a huge question mark, so I do not believe DC will have much success with the ball again.

The defending for DC has been shredded over their past couple of games. They have given up a total of 8 goals over their past 4 games. This includes when they allowed 5 to this very Philadelphia team at the beginning of the month. I do not expect the DC defense to all of a sudden be elite, so I think they will concede multiple times again.
Philadelphia Union
The Union were embarrassed last week at home, falling to the Chicago Fire. They saw Atlanta take over the number 1 seed in the East, which means they have a lot of work to do. They currently have 8 wins at home this year, so that is encouraging for this game.
The Union failed to score in Chicago, so they will be happy to return home. However, they did score 5 times in their away match against this DC United team. I look for another barrage of goals after the Union played so poorly in Chicago.

The Union defense played terrible in Chicago as they conceded twice to a team at the bottom of the standings. The good news is DC is lacking on the attacking side, so it should allow the Union to shut them down. Look for the Union to at the very least allow 1 goal.
Free DC United vs. Philadelphia Union MLS Prediction:
DC United without Wayne Rooney will be a major factor and I think it will give the Union the edge to come away with 3 points.
