Philadelphia vs. NY Red Bulls (Monday, 12.30am)
The New York Red Bulls can boost their MLS playoff chances with a victory on Sunday against the Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park.
Philly dropped to fourth in the Eastern Conference this week with their 3-1 loss at Toronto, while New York are three points behind that playoff line after suffering a 1-0 defeat to the New England Revolution.
We say: Philadelphia Union 2-0 New York Red Bulls
We rarely see the Union put together consecutive poor showings in MLS, and we expect to see a more determined effort from this group on Sunday.
Their experience in these end of season races and overall balance should be enough to earn them another home victory against a team that have failed to find much consistency all year.

Los Angeles vs. Inter Miami (Monday, 3.00am)
The team making all the headlines in MLS over the past few weeks will battle the reigning league champions on Sunday as Inter Miami travel to BMO Stadium for a date with Los Angeles FC.
LA are clinging to second place in the Western Conference despite a 2-1 loss at Charlotte FC last Saturday, while the Herons are 10 points back of a playoff spot in the East but are on a 10-match unbeaten run in all competitions heading into this game.
We say: Los Angeles FC 2-3 Inter Miami
On paper, Los Angeles may be superior to Inter Miami in many statistical categories, but the Herons have one element that no other MLS club can boast, Lionel Messi.
His presence has almost single-handedly turned the Miami fortunes around this season, while he has brought out the best in so many players on this team since arriving from Paris Saint-Germain, and we expect to see Messi and his former Barcelona teammates (Busquets and Alba) make all the difference for them on Sunday.
