Fresh off a four-goal rout of Sporting Kansas City, the Revolution will close the Desert Diamond Cup—and the 2017 preseason—by squaring off with the New York Red Bulls II (RBNY II).
The Revs have played six preseason matches up to this point, often fielding experimental lineups featuring a mixture of trialists and rookies. That won't be the case this afternoon, as Jay Heaps plans to use his final Diamond Cup outing to prep for next Saturday's season opener. This should provide more opportunity for Xavier Kouassi to work toward match fitness and new center backs Antonio Delamea and Benjamin Angoua to build more chemistry.
