Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Philadelphia Union vs. New England Revolution odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.
With all players back from Gold Cup and Olympic action both teams should be at full strength. Following the return of several players, the Revolution drew Nashville. They’ve won four of their last five.
The Union are 2-1-2 in their last five. They are coming off a strong midweek performance against Toronto FC that they won 3-0.
The Union have welcomed back many players over the last few weeks that were in action with the Jamaican National Team and have returned to their standard of play with them in the lineup.

Prediction
New England Revolution 2, Philadelphia Union 1
Money line (ML)
BET on NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION (-120) as they’ve been dominant at home this season. New England has won six of eight home games.
Flip the sides, and the Union really haven’t played well on the road this season. They’ve managed to get draws often, but they’ve won just two of nine on the road.
Additionally, the Revolution are playing very well as of late and they should be able to get the job done. The two sides drew 1-1 in Philadelphia earlier in the season.
The only match the Revolution have played against a top-three team in the East they won. I expect another strong showing from the side currently sitting atop the conference.
Over/Under (O/U)
“LEAN” to the OVER 2.5 (-160) as New England has the best offense in the MLS and Philadelphia is also rolling. The Union put three in the back of the net against a conference-worst Toronto defense.
The Over has hit in three of the Union’s last five matches. While they typically have a strong defense it doesn’t always hold up against better sides which was shown as they lost 2-1 to Orlando City.
The Revolution and their opponent have combined for 2 or more goals in eight of their last 10 matches. They’re tied with Sporting KC for the most goals in the MLS.
