The Philadelphia Union take on the New England Revolution tomorrow night at eight PM in Chester, PA. The Union took a huge hit with the loss of all-star keeper Faryd Mondragon. Mondragon fractured his right finger during his last game against Real Salt Lake. He was taken out of the game at halftime and rookie, Zac Macmath, came in the second half to make his MLS debut. The 'rook' had three saves in his first forty five minutes of action in a 2-1 loosing effort in Salt Lake City. Despite this being Macmath's first game as a starter, he has been taught very well by Mondragon. Faryd and Macmath have been reviewing game footage of goals, in order to figure out how they could have been stopped, or if it was a blunder on the defensive part. The Revolution have not played a game in the last seventeen days, which is a club record. New England is in last place in the east, which gives the Union better odds as long as they can keep the ball in New England's half and get quality shots on net. Also, with Freddy Adu getting more and more playing time with the team, and Le Toux getting his first non PK goal of the season, I expect a possible offensive resurgence. The Revolution also have a goal differential of -13, while the Union have the best goal differential in the east. I'm expecting a high scoring win for the union tomorrow night.
