Philadelphia Union, currently sixth in the Eastern Conference, will play host to the second-placed New England Revolution in the MLS on Sunday. The hosts have taken 18 points from a possible 36 to date and are currently nine points behind the league leaders, Cincinnati. Philadelphia played out a 0-0 draw against DC United in their last match, which extended their strong record of late to five matches without defeat, including three wins and two draws. The hosts have been difficult to beat at Subaru Park, having only lost once in their first six league matches at home. They come into this one unbeaten in their last three home matches with two draws and a win. Philadelphia won the last encounter between these sides 2-1 last season. With solid home form this term, they will fancy their chances of taking something from this one. 

Meanwhile, New England’s strong start to the season suffered a minor setback last week when they lost 2-1 to Inter Miami. The visitors are now three points behind the leaders and two ahead of Nashville in third, though they have played a game less than the sides below them. Over their last six matches, New England Revolution have won three, drawn two, and lost one. In their 12 matches to date, the visitors have lost two games, both away matches. New England have failed to beat this opponent in their last three encounters, losing twice and drawing once. However, the last time they did come out on top in this fixture was at this venue back in 2021, and they will need a similar result here to keep the pressure on Cincinnati at the top.
