Our prediction for this MLS match:
Following a 2-0 win over Cincinnati, Nashville will look to stay in the playoffs berth when they take on New England Revolution at their Geodis Park. Nashville have been showing signs of improvement of late and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win Sunday’s encounter. All Walker Zimmerman, Shaq Moore, Randall Leal, and Lukas MacNaughton are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Meanwhile, the Revs suffered a dip in form and given their three-game losing run in the Major League Soccer, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s clash. Henry Kessler serves a one-game ban, while Esmir Bajraktarevic is widely expected to replace Tomas Chancalay in New England Revolution’s starting XI. When the two teams met at Geodis Park last time out Nashville defeated New England 3-2.
Highlighted Team (New England Revolution):
Unlike famous NFL club New England Patriots, the Revolution have yet to win the domestic trophy. New England participated five times in the MLS Cup final, but they were more than fortunate not to lift the silverware. The Revs played their last final in 2014, with the team losing to LA Galaxy in the title game at StubHub Center. New England Revolution, though, clinched the North American SuperLiga trophy in 2008 and that is considered as the club’s biggest success.
It has to be noted that the Revs defeated Houston Dynamo on penalties in the final of the tournament. New England Revolution were founded in 1994 and Gillette Stadium is the home ground of the club. Legendary defender Alexi Lalas played for the Revolution (1996-1997) and he scored three goals for the Gillette Stadium outfit. Fellow USA ace Clint Dempsey was part of the team as well and you should know that he netted 25 goals in 71 league appearances for the club.
