Philadelphia Union vs New England Revolution Picks and Predictions September 20th 2025

New England Enters With Heavy Week Behind Them

The New England Revolution travel to Chester, Pa., on Saturday afternoon to take on the Philadelphia Union in a matchup that comes with plenty of off-field storylines. Earlier this week, New England parted ways with head coach Caleb Porter, ending his tenure just shy of two seasons. Assistant Pablo Moreira now steps in on an interim basis.

The Revolution (8-14-8, 32 points) are clinging to faint postseason hopes but face elimination with either a loss, draw, or a Chicago Fire victory elsewhere. Despite the bleak outlook, Moreira emphasized the importance of finishing strong and keeping the locker room motivated for the final four matches.

Philadelphia Looks to Rebound From Tough Stretch

The Philadelphia Union (17-7-6, 57 points) remain at the top of the MLS Supporters’ Shield standings despite enduring one of their roughest weeks of the season. After a stunning 7-0 defeat to the Vancouver Whitecaps in league play and a 3-1 U.S. Open Cup semifinal loss to Nashville SC, the Union are eager to reset.

Head coach Bradley Carnell called it a week “we wish to forget” but stressed that discomfort is part of growth and preparation for the postseason. Philadelphia still leads San Diego FC by a single point with four matches left in the regular season.

Injury Watch: Andre Blake’s Status

One of the biggest storylines for Philadelphia is the potential return of goalkeeper Andre Blake. Out since August 16 with a hamstring issue, Blake is considered day-to-day and will be evaluated before kickoff. Carnell noted that Blake will decide based on his own comfort and health.

A healthy Blake would be a critical boost for a Union side looking to tighten up defensively after conceding 10 goals in two matches. Bettors can track lineup updates and betting angles with soccer picks from top analysts.
