Prediction: 2-2
New England Revolution
Atlanta United play host to New England Revolution at their Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday evening. The Five Stripes did well to beat Chicago Fire 4-1 at the weekend, with the team putting an end to their four-game winless run. Atlanta aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach against Bruce Arena’s troops. The likes of Campbell, Guzan, Alonso, Martinez, Chol, and Castanheira should miss out with injuries for the home team.
The start of the season has been a mixed bag for New England, who occupy 11th place in the standings. The Revs aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, and seeing that they will go for a win in Sunday’s clash as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Gustavo Bou continue to miss out with injury for the away side.
Highlighted Player (Josef Martinez):
Josef Martinez started his senior career at Caracas, but he made no more than 36 league appearances for the Venezuelan outfit from 2010 to 2012. Martinez then moved to Europe and the 170-cm tall striker scored 4 goals in 34 appearances for the capital club. In the 2013/2014 season he played for fellow Swiss outfit Thun (on loan) and on June 7, 2014 he signed a contract with Serie A team Torino.
In December, 2017 Josef Martinez scored his first ever goal in the Italian top flight in a 2-2 draw with Palermo. The Venezuela international currently plays (on loan) for Atlanta United in MLS and he made his debut for Gerardo Martino’s team against New York Red Bulls. Speaking of his international career, Martinez made his Venezuela debut against El Salvador, coming from the bench after 76 minutes.
On November 10, 2016 he scored a hat-trick for La Vinotinto in a thrilling 5-0 victory over Bolivia and it has to be noted that he has four caps (two goals) for Venezuela U20 team.
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.
