New England Revolution vs Nashville Preview
Former MLS Cup finalists New England Revolution face a tough test against high-flying Nashville in the early hours of Thursday as they look to secure just their second league win in eight games. The Revs are winless in their last three home outings, including a narrow 1–0 defeat to Cincinnati in their most recent league match. They also failed to score in two of those games, leaving their playoff hopes in serious jeopardy.
Nashville, on the other hand, are enjoying a strong run of form, having gone unbeaten in their last 11 matches across all competitions. They’ve failed to score only once during that stretch—a goalless draw with DC United in May. The Boys in Gold currently sit third in the Eastern Conference, five points behind leaders Philadelphia Union.
