Looking to place a bet on this Eastern Conference clash? Well, if so, then you’re certainly in the right place! Here, you’ll find everything there is to know about the two teams, as well as some statistical highlights. Will Philadelphia be able to stop the force in the east that is the Revolution?

The Revolution have gone from strength to strength this season, and now find themselves  eight points clear at the top of the Eastern Conference. With only three losses so far, New England have shown the rest of the league that they are the team to beat in 2021. With a strong first half of the season, New England will definitely be hoping to continue their impressive dominance on the east, whilst putting themselves in a perfect spot for the No.1 spot in the playoffs. Heading into the weekend, the Revolution come off the back of a five-game winning streak, including their midweek victory against Nashville.

As things stand, Philadelphia Union are very much involved in the battle for a postseason feature, and at the moment, are likely to achieve this. In fifth in the Eastern Conference, Philadelphia have had a good first half to the season. Whilst not great, they are still in a position to make the playoffs - as long as they continue with their performances for the second half of the campaign. On Sunday, the Union will have arguably one of their toughest games of the season, against an in-form New England Revolution side. Phillie will definitely challenge themselves to upset the leaders.

The two teams have played each other five times since September 2020, meaning that they are extremely familiar with one another. One of those occasions took place earlier this season, and ended as a 1-1 draw. While it could give the away side some confidence and positivity, the fixture was almost three months ago. The picture has changed dramatically, with New England improving what seems like every weekend. Before this season, the results of their previous encounters are rather even, with both teams getting two wins out of four.

With that said, we’re adding to our tip that it is likely for both teams to score in this game on Sunday evening. It’s clear that the Revolution are an attacking side, and will look to throw everything at their opponents to ensure they come away with all three points.
