Major League Soccer returns with a fresh set of fixtures as New England Revolution and Orlando City square off at Gillette Stadium on Saturday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results, with Orlando crashing out of the US Open Cup.
New England Revolution maintained their fine run of results last Sunday when they fought off a late comeback scare to see out a 2-1 victory over Chicago Fire at Soldier Field.
Thanks for the submission!
Marko Mitrovic’s men are unbeaten in five of their most recent six league matches, claiming four wins and one draw, having failed to win the three games preceding this run (1D 2L).
New England Revolution have picked up 43 points from their 25 MLS matches so far to sit third in the Eastern Conference standings, two points behind second-placed Inter Miami and 11 off league leaders Nashville.
On the other hand, Orlando City failed to reach the US Open Cup final in midweek when they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Columbus Crew in their semi-final clash at the ScottsMiracle-Gro Field.
Inter&Co Stadium’s side now turn their focus to MLS, where they have upped the ante of late and are unbeaten in their most recent five games (4W 1D), including three victories in their three matches since the start of September.
This upturn in form has put Orlando City well in the mix for playoff qualification, as they sit sixth in the Eastern Conference table with 34 points from 25 games, five points above 10th-placed New York Red Bulls outside the qualifying places.
