Union take aim at three points against RevsSoccer Betting Lines08/27/2010 - Foxborough, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two teams coming off of disappointing losses last time out hook up at Gillette Stadium on Saturday as the New England Revolution play host to the Philadelphia Union. Both sides enter the weekend on the outside of the playoff picture in Major League Soccer, meaning that the three points on offer will be vitally important. The Union suffered a 2-0 defeat at Eastern Conference cellar-dwellers D.C. United last Sunday, and the loss drew particularly harsh criticism from Union coach Peter Nowak. "I told the guys in the locker room, I'm extremely disappointed, not only with the result, but with the way we played," Nowak told mlssoccer.com following the game. "There was no substance in the whole game today. From the back, with the simple mistake we could have cleaned up, and in the overall game, even offensively." "I think that was the worst performance I've seen in the eight months with this team," he said. "We have to be real about the situation that this stuff is not going to fly with me." The coach has not had a lot to be happy about lately with his team extending its winless streak to six games with the loss, and with his team sitting in seventh place in the East, a playoff spot is highly unlikely barring a major turnaround. Revolution coach Steve Nicol was not quite as upset after his team's 4-1 defeat to the Kansas City Wizards, but he also knows that an immediate response is needed if his team is to improve its own playoff hopes. "We need to get rested and get after it again," Nicol said. "The only thing I can tell you is that we will have to do that. I'm confident of that - it'll never be in question. We just need to do things better moving forward when we have it and when we don't have it." The Revs clearly didn't have it last Saturday as they entered the game having given up three goals in their previous five games, but then yielded four goals to the Wizards. New England will also have an eye toward the SuperLiga final on Wednesday as they will host Mexican side Morelia.

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown.
