New England Revolution host NYCFC at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, August 23 (4:30 PM ET \/ 3:30 PM CT \/ 1:30 PM PT).<\/p>\n
With no fresh absences flagged for either club, the team news here is about personnel rather than what’s missing. New England Revolution’s attack still flows through Carles Gil, who has racked up 7 goals and a team-high 50 chances created this season, with Dor Turgeman (4 goals, 41 shots) and Peyton Miller (4 goals in 1,077 minutes) expected to lead the line alongside him. NYCFC will lean on Axel Ojeda and Hannes Wolf, level on 5 goals each, while Keaton Parks and Tayvon Gray look to supply the final ball from deeper.<\/p>\n
Expect this one to stay tight. Revolution have shown they can score in bunches, hammering Atlanta United 4-1 last time out at Gillette Stadium, but they’ve also gone quiet in defeats to Houston Dynamo and Toronto FC, and NYCFC have matched that inconsistency with wins either side of back-to-back losses. With both defences capable of shutting a game down and neither attack fully firing on the road, the shape of this fixture points to a low-scoring, closely fought contest rather than an end-to-end shootout, with home advantage the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n
