New England Revolution vs CF Montreal Preview
New England Revolution have suffered a major blow in their hopes of securing a playoff berth at the end of the regular MLS season, having failed to any of their past eight league matches. Despite an impressive run of six victories in seven matches between March and May, they have only been able to grind out just one victory in the subsequent 14 matches, dropping to 11th on the Eastern Conference Division standings. The Revs have also lost six of their last eight matches and have failed to win any of their last seven in their home arena. The Revs last league victory came against Montreal in June and they will be hoping to repeat the feat, sparking a revival in their push for the playoffs. Last time out, they were defeated 2-1 at home by Orlando City.
Montreal Impact, on the other hand, have also endured a disappointing season, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the league standings. They have managed just three wins all season, but have not tasted victory since a 1-0 triumph over New York City FC in June. Montreal are winless in their last five matches in all competitions and are also without a victory in their last two road trips. They have scored the second-fewest number of goals this season (20), and only Austin FC have scored fewer (17), highlighting their struggles in front of goal. They suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Chicago Fire in their last outing.
