Philadelphia Union vs New England Revolution

Subaru Park is the venue as Philadelphia Union and New England Revolution go head-to-head in a handsomely-looking Major League Soccer fixture.

Goals on either side of halftime saw Philadelphia Union beat Inter Miami 2-1 on the road and build on a thumping 7-0 home triumph over DC United in their most recent MLS home outing. Back to the top of the Eastern Conference, Jim Curtin’s men are looking to stay there by maintaining a single-point lead on second-placed New York City. Playing at home comes in handy, as they’ve not lost any home league match this season (W5, D5), winning the last two in a row by an aggregate score of 7-1. However, Philadelphia are winless in their two most recent top-flight H2Hs as hosts (D1, L1), totalling just one goal in that sequence.

On the other hand, New England Revolution suffered a 4-2 defeat away to New York City last time out, making it three winless MLS fixtures on the bounce (D2, L1). Despite picking up just one win from five league outings (D3, L1), the ‘Revs’ are still flirting with the playoff line, as they trail seventh-placed Charlotte by one point. But to stay within touching distance of the playoff zone, Bruce Arena’s side will have to defy their abysmal win ratio of 22% away from home this season (2/9). New England’s defensive frailties have seen them concede 2.22 goals per MLS travel to date.
