CURRENT FORM
New England Revolution
2nd in Eastern Conference (6-3-1, 19 pts.)
Last Result | 1-0 win vs. Charlotte FC
The Revolution extended their league unbeaten streak to six games (5-0-1) last weekend with their victory over Charlotte FC. The match kicked off a four-game homestand for the Revs, who are now a perfect five-for-five at home as Philadelphia visit Gillette Stadium. Their performance against Charlotte also secured New England’s third clean sheet of the season, as they defend one of the strongest goal differentials in the East (+6).
While New England have been hot at home this season, they face a Philadelphia side who have had the upper hand over the Revs in recent years, winning all but one of the last seven matchups. Continuing to battle through a demanding stretch, Saturday’s match will be New England’s eighth in a month’s span.
Philadelphia Union
15th in Eastern Conference (1-7-3, 6 pts.)
Last Result | 0-0 draw vs. Nashville SC
Last season, the Union soared to the top of the league, earning the 2025 Supporters’ Shield. This year, things are looking a bit different for Philadelphia as they sit at the bottom of the Eastern Conference table. While it took the Union until April 11 to find their first three-point result of the season, they seem to have found a bit more rhythm while going 1-1-3 in their last five games.
While Philadelphia has struggled on the attack, only scoring nine goals in 11 games, they’ve been a bit stronger on the defensive end. Earning their lone win on the road this season, the Union will be motivated to secure another three points on Saturday.
KEY PLAYERS
Revolution goalkeeper Matt Turner
Matt Turner has been a driving force in New England’s strong start this season, conceding only 12 goals through 10 games. His 49 saves rank fourth in the league, as he’s already secured three clean sheets so far this year.
Turner’s signature late-game heroics have repeatedly preserved points for the Revolution. As teams have tried to claw their way back in the dying minutes of recent matches, Turner has consistently delivered in the deciding moments. His strong performances have earned him a spot on the MLS Team of the Matchday twice so far this season. With less than a month remaining before MLS breaks for the FIFA World Cup, Turner will be motivated not just by the Revolution’s success, but by his continued push to earn a spot in the USMNT starting XI.
Union forward Milan Iloski
After joining the Union late last season, Iloski made an immediate impact for Philadelphia in just nine appearances. Despite logging only 600 minutes with the Union in 2025, the forward produced seven goal contributions, with two goals and five assists.
This season, Iloski is leading Philadelphia’s attack with two goals and one assist. Over his last five matches, he has added one goal and his lone assist while generating a team‑high xG of 2.55. As the Union look to strengthen their attack, Iloski is expected to lead the charge.
HEAR FROM THE TEAM
Assistant coach Michael Morris on preparations for Saturday’s match:
“[Philadelphia] have had a slow start, but that’s just in terms of goals scored and conceded in their results. If you look at their underlying data and how they’ve performed, they are a lot better than what their position in the table would put them at. For them, we know that Philadelphia, year after year, has very consistent behaviors. They’re very organized in terms of their defending. They’re built off playing direct and second balls and creating challenges for opponents. For us, we have a plan this week in terms of what we want to train, but we don’t really look at teams in terms of where they are in the standings. We look in terms of their data, what are their behaviors, and what are their actions and how they want to play, and then how do we prepare for that effectively.”
Morris on how head coach Marko Mitrović and the staff have helped change the culture:
“Something like culture can be very difficult to quantify. I think it’s just consistent behavior day-in and day-out in terms of the standards that you expect from the team, but also from ourselves as a staff in terms of people. One of Marko’s qualities is that he’s very positive with everybody, but it doesn’t sacrifice the standards and the demands. For me personally, aside from my family and my daughter, I love coaching and I love the game more than anything. It consumes the way I think, and it consumes the way we all behave. Marko is the same way. This game is his passion and his life, and that transmits to the staff and to the players. That helps build that togetherness that I think we’ve shown over the last several weeks or so, and that helps us generate positive results in moments of adversity.”
Midfielder Alhassan Yusuf on the team improving to a 5-0-0 mark at home to match the club’s best-ever home start:
"I think it's great that we've been on this winning streak [at home], but the most important thing is being relentless, never satisfied, as we always say. We just have to keep going.”
