With Keon Daniel still unavailable, the Union will try to build on a strong second half against New England this Saturday when they face Portland.
Match previews
Preview: Union v Revolution
The Union blew through the Revs at Gillette Stadium in July. But this New England team has their captain back, and some new faces to help him out. Meanwhile, Philly will give Zac MacMath his full debut in front of a raucous PPL Park crowd. [Update: Brian Carroll now listed as probable]
Preview: Union at Real Salt Lake
Both teams are coming off rough stretches. Real Salt Lake lost Nat Borchers to a red card in their win over Chivas USA. Can the Union take advantage and pick up some momentum heading into the final stretch of the season?
Preview: Philadelphia Union at Columbus Crew
In a matchup of the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, defense will be the priority for both sides and it is hard to see either team going out and claiming three points.
Preview: Philadelphia Union vs. FC Dallas
The Philadelphia soccer community has been buzzing this week with the National Team in town and today’s signing of Freddy Adu. The Union should harness that positivity and claim their first win over visiting FC Dallas.
Preview: Philadelphia Union vs. Houston Dynamo
The Union are slumping, but Houston has yet to win a match on the road in 2011. This one may be a case of first goal wins.
