It feels weird to say it, but Saturday will see D.C. United arguably favored in a game for the first time in months. Between injuries and the fact that this season has slowly drifted out of their hands (3W-0D-6L run since mid-June), the New England Revolution are a bit difficult to get a read on. The talent is there, but the table - the Revs are 7 points from a playoff spot - doesn’t lie.
Jay Heaps has mostly played a 4132 recently, but he deployed a somewhat fluid 4141 in their 2-1 road loss to NYCFC, and has played plenty of 4231 this year as well.
