Lineup Notes:

• Sporting Director and Head Coach Bruce Arena, the league’s all-time leader in playoff games coached (53 including today) and wins (34), deploys an unchanged Starting XI from Tuesday’s Round One match at Philadelphia, marking the first time since July 17 that New England’s lineup features no changes from the previous contest.
• Designated Players Adam Buksa, Gustavo Bou and Carles Gil will all appear in the starting lineup for the fourth straight game. The trio has accounted for three of New England’s four goals this postseason, despite playing only 250 minutes together during the regular season.
• Gil, wearing the captain’s armband this afternoon, became just the third Revolution player to register multiple assists in a playoff game in Tuesday’s win. The 2019 MLS Newcomer of the Year has one goal and two assists this postseason.
• Buksa’s game-winning goal in Round One gives him four tallies in his last eight games, and seven goals overall in 2020. The Polish forward’s 11 headed shots on target across all competitions are the most in MLS.
• Bou, who owns a goal and an assist in the playoffs, has scored in both of his appearances against Orlando with 12 shots and four shots on target in the series.
• Teal Bunbury (15) surpasses Seth Sinovic (14) for the lead among active Revs in postseason appearances. Bunbury, who led all MLS players with six away goals during the regular season, owns three goals and one assist in 10 career appearances against Orlando.
• Matt Turner, 2-1-0 in the postseason, logged his first playoff shutout with Tuesday’s 2-0 win in Round One at Philadelphia. Turner enters today’s contest with a 1-0-2 regular-season record against Orlando.
• Tajon Buchanan will start at right back for the third time this postseason after playing primarily as a winger in 23 regular season appearances. Buchanan scored the Revs’ second goal in the Round One win at Philadelphia.
• Andrew Farrell registers his 11^th postseason appearance. The eighth-year defender is 41 minutes shy of eclipsing 1,000 minutes played in the MLS Cup Playoffs, all with New England.
• Henry Kessler starts alongside Farrell in central defense, as the rookie continues to appear in all but one game in 2020, including all seven of the team’s clean sheets.
• DeJuan Jones is poised to make his third straight playoff start at left back. Jones owns one assist in three MLS Cup Playoffs appearances, all full 90-minute shifts.
• Scott Caldwell makes his 12^th MLS Cup Playoffs appearance and ninth postseason start. The Braintree, Mass. native played all 90 minutes in the club’s Round One win over Philadelphia, completing 28 of 30 pass attempts.
• Matt Polster logs his fourth career postseason appearance, all full 90-minute shifts. The midfielder will make his 10^th consecutive appearance today.
