Philadelphia Union head north for the third game in eight days, taking New England Revolution on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium. Don't miss the East Coast rivalry action with the game free on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV starting at 7:30PM.
The past few weeks haven't been been easy for the Philadelphia Union -- they haven’t won a match in over a month, and they’ve lost their past four at Subaru Park, most recently falling to New York City FC on Wednesday night in a rainy rivalry contest.
Their recent woes aside, Head Coach Jim Curtin’s squad hasn’t lost on the road yet this season, and he and his team has a chance to keep that streak in tact against a New England side that holds the worst record in the Eastern Conference.
In his first year at the helm, Head Coach Caleb Porter has led his team to a lackluster start -- his team has only won two league games since he was officially announced as the team’s leader in December. Favorably for his group, however, they’ll enter Saturday’s match having had a few more day of rest compared to their opponents, as their last match was last Saturday against New York Red Bulls. The result was 4-2, with the Revs’ two goals coming from Carles Gil and Giacomo Vrioni. That pair has accounted for more than half the team’s goal this season, with Gil leading the pack with four, while Vrioni and Tomás Chancalay each have two. Nacho Gil scored one as well, combining for a grand total of nine goals. Philadelphia have scored more than double that number, hitting the back of the net 22 times since the start of the regular season.Most recently, Julian Carranza scored against NYCFC two minutes into the second half, leading a comeback charge that fell short as the match finished 2-1.
The last time Curtin's crew visited Foxborough, they eliminated the Revs from the playoffs with a 1-0 win by way of an electric goal from Chris Donovan off the bench in the 79th minute. The victory was their second straight, sweeping the series in just two matches to advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Fans looking to cheer on the Boys in Blue in the matchup have a few different options with a pair of Union Watch Parties taking place around the area on Saturday. All fans are invited to Union Yards to enjoy some live entertainment, drinks and food fresh from the grill starting at 5:30PM. Also our friends at Chickie's and Pete's in Malvern will have a Watch Party but fans are encouraged to RSVP to secure their spot.
