An interesting clash in the MLS is set for Saturday evening, as Eastern Conference’s Philadelphia Union takes on Colorado Rapids from the Western Conference.

The Union could potentially move to the top of the Eastern Conference standings with a victory this weekend, and their recent form is strong after winning two of their last three matches.

However, the Rapids also have an important need for points in their playoff push in the West. They come into this weekend following an entertaining 3-3 draw on the road against the Seattle Sounders in their previous outing.

Philadelphia vs. Colorado Picks

The Rapids have endured a long winless sequence against the Union, and it doesn’t aid their chances that they have won just two of their eleven away matches in the MLS this season.

Therefore, the Union look like a standout selection to enhance their strong home record, which has already seen them win eight of their 12 matches in Philadelphia.
