Prediction: 2-0
Houston Dynamo
After defeating Charlotte on the road in the season opener, New England Revolution will look to keep their 100% record intact when they face Houston Dynamo on Sunday morning. The Revs showed character in the Bank of America Stadium clash, with Henry Kessler scoring a late winner, and it is no wonder the odds for home triumph have been dropping. All Thomas McNamara, Nacho Gil, Andrew Farrell, Maciel, and Jacob Jackson are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Orange Crush, on the other hand, were beaten by Cincinnati in the opening match of the season, and seeing that Ben Olsen’s men have always been struggling on the road in MLS, we are tempted to put our money on New England. Defender Brad Smith should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Hector Herrera):
Mexico international Hector Herrera is a 26-year-old midfielder playing for Portugal giants FC Porto. Herrera began his career with Pachuca in 2010 and spent three years at the club before being sold to Porto. During his first season with the Dragons Herrera struggled for playing time, but he went on to cement his place in the starting eleven, becoming one of the most valuable players for the club.
Herrera has since them racked up over 110 performances for the Portugal side, scoring over 20 goals in the process. Full Mexico international since 2012, Hector Herrera represented his country at the 2014 World Cup.
During the summer of 2016 Herrera was heavily linked with a move away from Porto and was reported to have made a personal agreement with Italian side Napoli, but the €25 million asking price proved to be a stumbling block that ended up ruining the deal.
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.
