By most measures, New England had a great ten days, handing NYCFC their first home loss and then nearly giving LAFC their second before settling for a 1-1 draw. However, these are desperate times and, while the Revs aren’t really in must-win mode, they’re pretty close.
Sitting six points from playoff position with just six games left in the campaign, home matches, however, are certainly must-win, especially against struggling teams. And that’s what awaits New England as they return home for the first of their final three games at Gillette in 2018. They face a floundering Chicago Fire SC squad where it’s three points or bust.
