Philadelphia Union Preview – Can the Union pick up first home win?
Philadelphia Union began their season with a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Columbus Crew. They then suffered back-to-back home defeats, losing 2-1 to Inter Miami and 2-0 to New York City.
Jim Curtin’s side secured their first win of the season last time out, though, seeing off Chicago Fire at Soldier Field in Illinois. Quickfire second-half goals from Cory Burke and Jakob Glesnes did the damage in that one.
The Union will be looking for their first home victory of the season this Thursday after losing their opening two. They will certainly be buoyed after last weekend’s win in Chicago. The bookies are offering 23/20 for Philadelphia to follow that up with maximum points at PPL Park in Pennsylvania on Thursday.
New England Revolution Preview – Will the Revs get back to winning ways?
New England Revolution came from two goals down to pick up a 2-2 draw at Chicago in their opening game of the MLS season in mid-April. Bruce Arena’s troops built on that with impressive back-to-back wins. They saw off DC United and Atlanta United at Gillette Stadium to make it seven points from a possible nine.
Unfortunately for the Revs, they were brought back down to earth with a bang in their last fixture. They never really got going in Nashville as goals C.J Sapong and Alex Muyl gave the hosts a 2-0 win, inflicting a first defeat of the season on Arena and his men.
