Major League Soccer returns with another high-profile clash in the Eastern Conference as New England Revolution play host to Inter Miami on Sunday. Both sides are separated by just two points in the top-three places, and this makes for an exciting matchup at Gillette Stadium.
With MLS playoffs on the horizon, New England Revolution have upped the ante at the business end of the season, with a thrilling 3-2 victory over New York Red Bulls on Wednesday joining their list of impressive results.
Thanks for the submission!
Marko Mitrovic’s men have won four games on the bounce, scoring nine goals and conceding five since suffering back-to-back defeats against Real Salt Lake and Seattle Sounders.
New England Revolution have picked up 18 wins and four draws from their 32 MLS matches so far to collect 58 points and sit second in the Eastern Conference table, two points and one place above this weekend’s visitors.
Elsewhere, Inter Miami failed to return to winning ways last Wednesday when they needed a 90th-minute equalizer from Riquelme to salvage a 2-2 draw against FC Cincinnati at the Nu Stadium.
Before that, Kily Gonzalez’s men saw their run of three consecutive defeats continue on October 24 when they were beaten 2-0 by New York Red Bulls at the Sports Illustrated Stadium.
Having clinched a first-ever playoff title last season, Inter Miami will look to close out the regular season on a strong note in their final two games as they attempt consecutive playoff titles for the first time since 2012, when LA Galaxy defended their crown.
