Now that the push to the playoffs that never was is finally over, the Philadelphia Union (1.04 PPG) face a team they have actually performed better than this season, the New England Revolution (0.92). The New England Revolution are currently experiencing a very poor run of form, having gone winless in their past nine games. If the Union are looking to get three points, this is certainly a match that should be winnable, even on the road.
Prediction: I know my predictions have aired on the pessimistic side throughout this season, but I am actually feeling decent about this one, even on the road. I don't think this will necessarily be a pretty game, but I think the Union win 1-0.
