Saturday night at Gillette Stadium the New England Revolution will take on Eastern Conference foes the Philadelphia Union in a match that has huge playoff implications. The Revs sit on 29 points and are currently in sixth place, holding onto that last playoff spot. They’ll be facing a desperate but confident Philadelphia side who are on 27 points and are coming off a U.S. Open Cup semifinal win over the Chicago Fire midweek. The Union are generally strong at home and struggle on the road, but they’ve pulled off some surprising results away from Chester in recent weeks. It’s vital that the Revolution capture three points at home this weekend given that just six points currently separate fifth place from 10th place in the East.
