RECENT FORM VS. PHILADELPHIA UNION

It's been five months since the first meeting of the season between the Revs and Union back on May 20, when a second-half blitz saw Philadelphia claim a 3-0 win at Subaru Park. That result leaves the Revs winless in their last three meetings with the Union (0-2-1) dating back to the start of last season, a stretch that does include a 1-1 draw in the most recent meeting at Gillette Stadium in May 2022. New England did, however, have a stretch of recent success against Philly, going 3-0-1 during a four-game span from their playoff meeting in 2020 through the end of the 2021 campaign.

Decision Day presents a critical opportunity for the Revs (14-9-10, 52 pts.) to not only fight their way into the top four of the Eastern Conference (and claim homefield advantage in the process), but also to get back on track following three straight one-goal losses since the start of October. The Revs enter the regular-season finale two points back of fourth-place Columbus and three points back of third-place Philadelphia, and would clinch a top-four finish in the East with a win AND a Columbus loss (vs. CF Montréal), or a win over the Union by three or more goals. With just one game left on the calendar, the Revs could still finish anywhere between third and seventh in the Eastern Conference.

Philadelphia (15-8-10, 55 pts.) maintains that three-point lead over New England and would lock up third place in the East with a win on Saturday, while guaranteeing a top-four finish with a draw. The Union have lost just once in their last 12 league games (5-1-6) dating back to early July and they'll carry an eight-game unbeaten run into Decision Day, but it's been a somewhat frustrating run for the defending Eastern Conference champions with six draws during that stretch (2-0-6). They've been much improved away from home in the second half of the season, going 2-1-2 on their last five road trips.

As the name implies, there is much to be determined on Decision Day, as Saturday night's showdown with the Union will decide exactly where the Revs finish in the East and who they'll face in the opening round of the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs.

Overall Record vs. Philadelphia: 10-21-8
Home Record vs. Philadelphia: 5-6-5

Last meeting at Gillette Stadium: Revs 1, Union 1 (May 28, 2022)
Last meeting at Subaru Park: Union 3, Revs 0 (May 20, 2023)
