RECENT FORM VS. NEW YORK CITY FC
This will be the second and final meeting between the New England Revolution and New York City FC this regular season, with both September match-ups only three weeks apart.
Their most recent battle featured plenty of controversy as Revolution defender Antonio Delamea received a red card in the ninth minute, forcing the visitors to play down a man for over 80 minutes. The Revs held on to a 1-0 lead through the half thanks to a second-minute goal by forward Juan Fernando Caicedo. However, NYCFC equalized and then ultimately found a late winner when they converted a penalty deep into stoppage time.
The stakes have changed in the past three weeks, with even more on the line. The 7th-place Revs (42 points) have a chance to clinch their first postseason berth since 2015 in their home finale. Meanwhile, East-leading New York City FC (61 points) has an opportunity to lock up a first-round bye as the top seed in the East with a win or draw. It's a big game, no matter how you spin it.
This will, without a doubt, be a battle that you won't want to miss.
