Prediction: 1-1
New York City
A spot in the MLS semis will be at stake when New England Revolution and New York City go head to head at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday morning. The Revs impressed in the regular season, with the team clinching top position in the Eastern Conference in style, but they can’t afford any complacency in the quarter-final game. Bruce Arena should have a full squad to choose from for the Gillette Stadium showdown.
The Blue Pigeons, on the other hand, set up a meeting with New England by beating Atlanta United at Yankee Stadium. New York City are high on spirits ahead of the trip to Foxborough, and they are surely capable of matching the Revs. A close encounter is on the cards, and, taking everything into account, we are tempted to put our money on draw. All Acevedo Tabarez, Parks, and Tinnerholm are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
