The Philadelphia Union is the hottest club in Major League Soccer, and this time, the betting odds reflect that fact. Philadelphia goes into this Saturday's match with visiting Charlotte FC having put another double-digit unbeaten streak together, hoping to add three more points at 7:30 p.m. EST.
Charlotte isn't viewed as a dangerous threat to upset Philly's streak. However, the Crown's attack has hit a high point over the Carolina team's last few dates. Charlotte scored thrice to upset Columbus 3-2 behind striker Patrick Agyemang's brace two MLS rounds ago, followed by four more goals (including one from Agyemang) in the fixtures to follow. Charlotte has three attackers with at least five goals this year.
If Philadelphia isn't favored by as many as three goals in exact score predictions, it means that Las Vegas expects Charlotte to add at least one goal to a soaring O/U (3) total. Is a clean sheet more likely for Philly?

Charlotte FC vs Philadelphia Union Predictions and Picks
Charlotte FC fans are upset that center-back Andrew Privett has not been called to the USMNT, despite U.S. soccer's profound lack of able bodies going into this month's Concacaf Gold Cup. Privett has become the rock on a team that can't otherwise seem to attack and defend at the same time. "He quickly transitioned to defense (in 2023), showing rare adaptability," brags analyst Bruno Lopez of Soy Futbol.
The bad vibes of Team USA are good news for Charlotte, insofar as keeping a roster intact through the ragged MLS slate of June and July. Privett will come in handy against Philadelphia Union attackers like Tai Baribo, who leads the MLS with 13 goals. Baribo's teammate Quinn Sullivan has seven assists in 2025.
The Crown's road tendency is to play looser and more open than other visiting teams. Philly's counters will shine if Charlotte's offense whiffs, making the over (3) a solid pick even if the Union gets that clean sheet.
