The Union will look for a vital MLS home victory on Sunday night against the visiting New England Revolution after penalty kicks knocked the Union out of the U.S. Open Cup tournament.
Sunday’s game provides an opportunity for the team to make strides in Eastern Conference standings. The Revolution is eighth in the conference with 20 points, while the Union is ninth with 19.
The Revolution have been winless on the road this season, notching six losses and three ties on opponent’s turf. Although the Union’s home defense has been shaky, Talen Stadium has been the site of the team’s strongest showings, with only one of the season’s victories coming on the road.
