Revolution Returns Home to Face CF Montréal
Second Clash in a Month for the New England Revolution and CF Montréal
Match Preview and Key Storylines
The New England Revolution will look to bounce back from a disappointing loss when they host CF Montréal on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium. The Revolution were defeated 2-1 by the Philadelphia Union last weekend, snapping a four-game unbeaten streak.
Montréal, meanwhile, is coming off a 2-0 win over FC Cincinnati. The victory was Montréal's first in three games, and it moved them into a tie for sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
Saturday's match will be the second meeting between the two teams in a month. The Revolution won the first meeting 2-1 on July 19th.
Key Players to Watch
- Gustavo Bou (New England Revolution): The Argentine forward is the Revolution's leading scorer with 10 goals this season. He is also tied for the team lead in assists with five.
- Djordje Mihailovic (CF Montréal): The Serbian midfielder is one of the most creative players in MLS. He has six goals and eight assists this season.
- Alistair Johnston (CF Montréal): The Canadian defender is one of the best young players in MLS. He is a key part of Montréal's defense, and he has also contributed three goals and three assists this season.
Match Prediction
The Revolution and Montréal are two of the most evenly matched teams in MLS. Both teams have a good mix of experience and youth, and they both have a lot of attacking firepower.
I predict that this match will be a close one, but I think the Revolution will ultimately win 2-1. The Revolution are playing at home, and they have a slight edge in experience.
