Philadelphia consistently earn points when they deal with the opponents of their level, but when they play against stronger teams, they almost always have problems.

We will be backing the visiting team here.

We don't expect a barn-burner here, because the teams rarely score large numbers of goals in head-to-head games. Take the under.
