Philadelphia to extend lead at top with win at New England

1813

An all-Eastern Conference affair sees second from bottom club, New England Revolution, take on Conference leaders, Philadelphia Union at the Gillette Stadium in what seems a lop-sided encounter.

Despite their lowly league position though, New England have recently put together a promising four-match unbeaten run which includes wins against San Jose Earthquakes and LA Galaxy, along with points picked up in draws with Montreal Impact and DC United.

New England have won just 4 matches of their MLS campaign to date, but 3 of these have been recorded at their Gillette Stadium with victories gained over Minnesota United, New York Red Bulls and the aforementioned San Jose Earthquakes.

However, the hosts have also suffered 4 defeats on home turf this season too with reverses against Columbus Crew, Cincinnati, Atlanta United and Montreal Impact.

A lack of goals for the hosts have held them back so far this term as New England have failed to score in 4 of their 8 home matches to date at the Gillette Stadium.

By contrast, Philadelphia Union sit top of the Eastern Conference and hold a valuable 4-point cushion over second placed Montreal Impact as they make their way to Massachusetts for this Wednesday night clash.

The visitors have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 10 matches overall in the MLS, that being a 3-1 loss at home to Portland Timbers, but otherwise Philadelphia have produced some solid and consistent results overall.

Recent back-to-back wins against Minnesota United (3-2 away) and a 3-2 win over New York Red Bulls (at home) mean that the visitors will head into this encounter with New England Revolution in confident mood.

Results away from home started in fairly average fashion as Philadelphia were handed defeats at Sporting Kansas and LA Galaxy, but they’ve since smartened up their act with a 3-match unbeaten run on the road.

A 1-1 draw at Vancouver Whitecaps has been backed up by two wins on the trot at Toronto and Minnesota United, and they’ll be aiming to make it 3 away wins on the bounce at New England Revolution this Wednesday night.

New England Revolution have been inconsistent at home while Philadelphia Union have recorded some solid results on the road in recent times.
