Philadelphia Union vs Deportivo Saprissa Prediction and Betting Tips | February 27, 2024

Philadelphia Union host Deportivo Saprissa at the Subaru Park on Tuesday (February 27) in the second leg of their 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup first round.

The hosts struggled during the off-season but have begun the new campaign on a positive note. They drew 2-2 with Chicago Fire in their MLS opener at the weekend, with Daniel Gazdag heading home a late leveller for Chicago.

Deportivo, meanwhile, have had a mixed start to their league campaign. They drew goalless with 10-man Guanacasteca in their last game, managing just one shot on target.

Philadelphia have a foot in the last 16 following a 3-2 comeback win in the first leg, thanks to a second-half hat-trick from Julian Carranza.
