Best Tip: Both teams to score

Chicago should have reason to feel optimistic ahead of this match and, funnily enough, so might Philadelphia. The bookmakers can't split them and neither can we – there's no clear victor in this clash. So we look to the both teams to score market, where the signs are pointing in one direction. The form stats, past head-to-head (H2H) records and bookies odds below are all pointing towards both sides scoring, and that's the bet we'd recommend you go with.
