Why New England Revolution is a good bet versus Philadelphia Union

Philadelphia beat the New England Revolution 3-1 in the first matchup. But if we throw out Philly’s victory and look at the game before, it’s obvious that New England can hang with Philadelphia Union.

The last time these two battled, New England had home pitch advantage. Gustavo Bou scored a goal and kicked in a penalty for the Revolution in New England’s 2-1 victory.

What also impressed is how the Revolution held Philadelphia scoreless after Julian Carranza’s goal in minute 16. New England will bounce back from the loss and play Philadelphia tough on Wednesday night.

Why Philadelphia Union is a good bet against New England Revolution

Philadelphia Union’s victory over New England in the first game wasn’t just a win. It was a dominating win.

Daniel Gazdag, Mikkel Uhre, and Nathan Harriel scored in the first half. That allowed Philly Union to fall back into a defensive posture. Bou got a goal for New England Revolution in minute 68, but outside of Bou’s goal, the Revolution could do nothing.

Just because the venue changes, it doesn’t mean Philly U forgets how to play. We should expect the road squad to play as aggressively on Wednesday night as they did in the first matchup.

Philadelphia Union at New England Revolution Final Betting Analysis

This is going to be an ultra-tight game. Philadelphia Union and New England Revolution are on the same level. So neither squad will give an inch on Wednesday night.

However, New England has the edge. The Revolution, like most squads in MLS, play much better at Gillette Stadium than they do on the road.

Also, Philadelphia jumped out to a 3-0 first half lead in the last head-to-head. That won’t happen in the first half on Wednesday night. New England sets the tone early by controlling possession. The Revolution score a goal in the first half and then lock down Philly’s attack in a Game 2 victory.
