NY Red Bulls vs New England Revolution Preview
The New York Red Bulls will be hoping to end their five-match winless streak in the league with a victory against New England Revolution on Thursday. Despite a run of three straight wins in the latter part of May, their playoff spot have suffered a major setback having failed to win any of their next five matches. New York Red Bulls have only kept one clean sheet in their last seven league matches. They have one of the best home record in the league this season, with just one defeat in their ten matches at the Red Bull Arena.
New England Revolution, on the other hand, have also endured a huge setback to their post season aspirations after failing to win any of their last six matches in the league. The Revs have won only once in their last 12 matches, dropping to 11th on the Eastern Conference Division standings. They only kept three clean sheets in that run while they conceded multiple goals in seven of those matches, highlighting their defensive fragilities. However, the Revs boast a very impressive home record with just one defeat in their last nine matches on the road this season.
