Our prediction for this MLS match:
Bank of America Stadium will host Saturday’s MLS game between Charlotte and New England Revolution. Charlotte aim to put an end to their three-game losing run in the Major League Soccer and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Revs. Ghana forward Patrick Agyemang is a major doubt, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
New England Revolution, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league matches. As the Revs are eager to return to winning ways in the Major League Soccer as well, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. All William Sands, Brandon Bye, and Tomas Chancalay are out of contention with injuries for the away team. Experienced forward Bobby Wood is widely expected to lead the line for the visiting side after scoring his third goal of the season in the 2-2 draw with Montreal.
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.
