In their last match against the Philadelphia Union, the Revolution put up a solid performance defensively, but struggled to produce much on the attack, resulting in a 1-0 loss. Despite being eliminated from playoff contention, the team is motivated to end the season on a positive note and will look to secure a win against Atlanta.
Atlanta United FC, currently sitting at 13th in the Eastern Conference, has also been eliminated from playoff contention. They showed promise in their recent draw against San Diego FC, with an impressive attacking display. However, their defensive record this season has been less than stellar, conceding 55 goals.
One player to watch in the upcoming game is Revolution forward Dor Turgeman, who is set to make his first appearance for the team. Turgeman, known for his goal-scoring abilities, could provide the spark that New England needs to secure a victory.
Atlanta’s forward, Emmanuel Latte Lath, is another key player to keep an eye on. Despite returning from injury recently, Latte Lath has been instrumental in Atlanta’s attacking efforts this season, with 7 goals and 1 assist to his name.
Interim head coach, Pablo Moreira, emphasized the team’s focus on preparing for Atlanta United FC, stressing the importance of not underestimating their opponents. He also provided an update on the injury status of midfielder Leo Campana, who is expected to play a role in the upcoming match.
Midfielder Matt Polster echoed the team’s determination to finish the season strong, highlighting the importance of a positive mindset and approach in their final games. With both teams eager to secure a win, the stage is set for an exciting and competitive match at Gillette Stadium.
