Despite the poor form of both clubs at the moment, there is a chance one of them might come out with a brilliant display and eventually win the game. Philadelphia Union is playing at home and that should give them an advantage, but they have not been any good in home games and according to the h2h, Philadelphia Union bossed this fixture in the past. Unfortunately, that version of Philadelphia Union is no longer existent. And for the New England Revolution, they are anxious to win, and they are aware of the state of the Philadelphia team. So, we expect New England to go all out to try and win despite playing away from home.
