NYCFC<\/a> host New England Revolution<\/a> at Citi Field on Wednesday, September 9 (8:00 PM ET \/ 7:00 PM CT \/ 5:00 PM PT).<\/p>\n

NYCFC’s team news is light on absentees heading into this one, with Nicol\u00e1s Mercau<\/a> the shirt to watch after a season in which he’s fired fourteen goals from fifty-four shots, thirty-two of them on target, and added forty-two chances created. Axel Ojeda and Hannes Wolf give him support up top with five goals apiece, while Keaton Parks offers a passing outlet through midfield. New England Revolution head into the game with a similarly clean bill, leaning on Carles Gil, whose eight goals and sixty-two chances created make him the most creative outlet on the field, alongside Dor Turgeman’s six goals from fifty shots up front.<\/p>\n

The reverse fixture finished 1-1 back on August 23, and neither side has kept a shutout in recent weeks: NYCFC shipped 3 in a loss to Philadelphia Union and 2 more away at Cincinnati, while New England conceded 3 in a game they still won at Columbus and lost 0-2 at home to Houston. That points to goals at both ends rather than a stalemate \u2014 expect Carles Gil or Dor Turgeman to get New England on the board, but Mercau’s edge in front of goal should nose it for NYCFC at home.<\/p>\n
