Even with the MLS Cup playoffs a ways off, the New England Revolution and Philadelphia Union will have an eye on the postseason when they meet Sunday at Talen Energy Stadium in Chester, Pa.
New England (5-7-5) and Philadelphia (5-7-4) are ninth and 10th in the Eastern Conference, five and six points shy of a playoff spot, respectively, entering their matchup.
“It’s an important game for us. We need to win this game if we want to compete for the playoff spots,” Philadelphia’s Haris Medunjanin told PhiladelphiaUnion.com.
The Revs are coming off back-to-back losses in MLS play, falling 2-1 to the Chicago Fire on June 17 and 2-0 to Toronto FC on June 23.
