The good news? New England is currently on a four-match unbeaten run, leaving the annual summer swoon in the dust. The bad news? After dropping home points for the second time in four weeks, the Revolution are effectively eliminated from playoff contention for 2018.
With reigning champs Toronto FC in a similar situation, this match pits two clubs preparing for next season. It’s quite possible we’ll see a fair amount of play from reserves and those auditioning for roster spots in 2019.
First Meeting: May 12, 2018, at Gillette Stadium
Result: Revs 3, Toronto FC 2
Following their poorest showing of the year to date, a 4-2 loss at Montreal, the Revolution returned home to face a battered and bruised TFC squad struggling to find its form.
