- New England Revolution, currently seventh in the MLS 2026 with 19 points from 10 games, are clear favorites at the odds of2.66to take all three points against a woeful Philadelphia Union team who are languishing down in 28th place with just six points from 11 matches.
- Marko Mitrovic’s patient and possession-based 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 has worked a treat for the home team since he took the reins in November 2025, with the team’s ball control and tempo dictating capabilities ensuring that they are rock solid at Gillette Stadium, where they have conceded just two goals in their five matches this term (0.40 per game).
Philadelphia Union
- Philadelphia Union have a poor road record in MLS 2026 (W1, D1, L4).
- The Union have some high-energy players and have looked the most dangerous on the counter and from set-pieces, where they can pose a real threat to New England’s well-drilled back line.
