In one game last Friday, Philly managed to tally as many goals as they had in their previous eight league games combined, handing DC United a 7-0 defeat. And it temporarily silenced their critics who have suggested their missing ingredient is a number nine.
One area that has never been in question for Jim Curtin’s side is how well they defend, particularly in the City of Brotherly Love, where they have posted five clean sheets in 2022. The Union have not conceded a first-half strike in five consecutive encounters, while they have also allowed the fewest goals in the league (14), seven fewer than the next best team. It looks like they are finding their groove, as their intelligent and aggressive play in midfield has made life easy for the backline to hold their positions and clear any danger that might come their way.

The Revolution were literally penalized in their previous encounter, as a record three penalty kicks were called against them, two of which were converted in the Bronx last weekend. As you can imagine, Bruce Arena was none too pleased about the penalty decisions, saying afterwards that someone owed his club an apology for what he perceived to be some questionable refereeing decisions, including a red card which reduced them to 10 men minutes before the interval.
Controversial or not, the four goals conceded was the most New England had allowed in a regular-season encounter since 2019 when they conceded four or more on three occasions, including a 6-1 thumping at Subaru Park to the Union at the start of May that year. They continue to be plagued by poor defensive efforts, allowing the fourth-most goals (32) so far in the Eastern Conference.

Philadelphia Union are on a better run of results heading into this one but New England Revolution’s home form indicates that they are certainly no pushovers. We are backing the teams to cancel each other out and settle for a point apiece in the end.
Expect the Revs to be in a foul mood after the way they lost their previous encounter, though the Union are well-equipped to handle their dangerous attacking players as they are perhaps the most structurally sound team in the league and, at the moment, are firing on all cylinders.
Philadelphia Union 1-1 New England Revolution, as predicted by us.
