Prediction: 1-1
New England Revolution
Cincinnati play host to New England Revolution at their TQL Stadium on Sunday morning. Cincinnati have been surprisingly impressive in MLS of late, with the team extending their winning run to four games thanks to a 2-1 win over Chicago Fire. The Orange and Blue look unstoppable at the moment, and they are surely capable of matching the Revs on home soil. All Yuya Kubo, Alec Kann, and Ronald Matarrita continue to miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
New England, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement in recent weeks, with the team beating Inter Miami, while sharing the spoils with both Columbus Crew and Atlanta United. Cincinnati and New England Revolution seem to be evenly matched, and, taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the horizon. Both Jon Bell and Gustavo Bou are injured for the away side.
Highlighted Player (Haris Medunjanin):
After spending four seasons at AZ Alkmaar, Haris Medunjanin joined Spanish side Valladolid and he appeared in 42 league games for Pucela. The Bosnian midfielder played for the likes of Sparta Rotterdam, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Gaziantepspor in the past as well and in 2014 he returned to Spain, signing a contract with La Liga side Deportivo La Coruna.
Medunjanin scored two goals in 24 league appearances for the Galician outfit and in 2016 he joined his former club Maccabi Tel Aviv on a one-and-a-half-year deal. The left-footed footballer, who was born on March 8, 1985 won two European Championship titles with Netherlands U-21 team (2006, 2007), but he decided to represent Bosnian and Herzegovina on senior level.
He made his first start for the Balkan Dragons in a 1-0 loss to Portugal in the 2010 FIFA World Cup play-off match. Haris Medunjanin currently plays for Philadelphia Union and his contract with the MLS club expires on January 31, 2017.
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.
