The first midweek match of the season and an Eastern Conference clash with early “red line” implications highlight Week 7 in Major League Soccer. A couple of Northeast Corridor rivals meet in Harrison, N.J., Wednesday night as the New York Red Bulls host the Philadelphia Union in the first weeknight game of the 2014 season. The Red Bulls, last year’s Supporters Shield winners, are off to a frustrating start, having lost two and tied four to begin the season. The Union, who come off a hard-fought 2-2 draw with Real Salt Lake, have one win and four draws to begin the season.
The Red Bulls are one of five teams looking for their first victory of the campaign. Another is the Chicago Fire, who have one loss and five draws through Week 6 and host the New England Revolution on Saturday at Toyota Park (4 p.m. ET, NBCSN). The Fire-Revolution battle could be a big swing match in the standings as three points would propel Chicago past New England, who currently sit just above the “red line” that signifies who’s in playoff position.
The remaining three winless teams include the Montreal Impact, Portland Timbers and San Jose Earthquakes.
