CURRENT FORM
New England Revolution
3rd in Eastern Conference (7-4-1, 22 pts.)
Last Result | 3-0 loss vs. Nashville SC
The Revolution saw their seven‑game unbeaten run come to an end midweek against Nashville SC, suffering their first home loss of the season at Gillette Stadium. It was a frustrating result, but the Revs still enter the weekend as one of the league’s toughest home sides as they prepare to host Minnesota United.
Wednesday night marked the first time since February that New England failed to find the back of the net. On the attack, the Revs have scored 20 goals through 12 games. Defensively, despite conceding three to Nashville midweek, the Revs remain one of the strongest defensive teams in the East with 16 goals against. Saturday’s game marks the final home fixture until late July, as the Revs look to re-establish their home dominance and secure more momentum ahead of the World Cup break.
Minnesota United FC
6th in Western Conference (6-4-3, 21 pts.)
Last Result | 1-0 loss vs. Colorado Rapids
Minnesota have been one of the league’s stronger road teams this season, collecting 13 points from seven away matches. Despite scoring only 16 goals through 13 games, their attack has been more dangerous than the numbers suggest. The Loons’ 20.83 expected goals rank among the highest in MLS, highlighting their ability to create chances.
Since the Loons had a five-game unbeaten run snapped in late April, the Western Conference side has struggled to stay consistent, going 1-3-1 in all competitions since. Their strong early-season form helped them secure 21 points so far this season, as they sit just one point behind the Revolution in the overall table. However, in the West the Loons sit sixth, while New England holds the third spot in the East.
KEY PLAYERS
Revolution midfielder Carles Gil
Carles Gil has been a consistent difference maker for the Revolution this season. He currently leads the team with four goals and eight overall goal contributions, but he isn’t just making a difference on the scoreboard. Gil is one of the most influential attacking players in the league, creating 30 key passes, tied for seventh-most leaguewide.
Gil has scored three late game winners this season, emphasizing the team’s relentless fighting spirit. As captain, Gil’s influence has helped lead this Revolution squad to an already record-breaking season, accomplishing their best-ever home start in club history.
Minnesota forward Tomás Chancalay
Tomás Chancalay returns to Gillette Stadium on Saturday night for the first time since departing New England for Minnesota ahead of the 2026 season. The Argentine attacker has quickly become a driving force in the Loons’ attack, leading the team with four assists. His eight shots on target also rank second-most on the team.
Back in familiar territory, Chancalay may not just be comfortable, but also motivated to perform against his old team. Looking to add to his lone goal this season, Chancalay will be a key player as he’s welcomed back to New England in different colors.
HEAR FROM THE TEAM
Head coach Marko Mitrović on what he expects from Saturday’s opponent, Minnesota United FC:
“They are a very challenging team. They have their uniqueness, both in and out of possession. They have a physical presence on the field as well. It’s going to be a very different game than the game against Nashville, in terms of certain tactical demands and challenges both in and out of possession. They’re also a team that’s very strong on set pieces. That’s something we’ll have to pay attention to as well. So, we’re looking forward to that challenge.”
Defender Will Sands on how the team will respond to its first home setback this season:
"Everyone is a little frustrated about the result last night. It was a big game and I think that we just came up a little bit short in the end. I think there were pieces of that match where our identity really came out, and I think there was a piece of the match where we played well. I think it's just little details that kind of broke us in the end. If we can shore that up, I think we are very close. We were a little frustrated, but I think we need to focus on what Marko has stressed all year of putting one foot in front of the other and taking every day one step at a time. There is definitely stuff we can learn from [the Nashville game] and prepare for the next match."
Sands on Saturday's game against Minnesota United FC and former teammate Tomás Chancalay:
"Minnesota is a very good team. I'm excited to play Chanca. He's a wonderful person and a wonderful player. I think everyone is going to be very motivated. I think this will be a big game going into the World Cup break for momentum purposes and to kind of solidify our position in the standings. I am excited to see Tomas and excited to play against Minnesota."
