Key Player Matchups
Hugo Cuypers (CHI) vs. Andrew Farrell & Xavier Arreaga (NE)
Cuypers leads the Fire with 15 goals; his movement and finishing will test a Revolution backline that has conceded 1.9 goals per game over their last 10 matches.
Carles Gil (NE) vs. Gastón Giménez (CHI)
Gil’s vision (9 goals, 6 assists) is the heartbeat of New England’s attack; Giménez will be tasked with disrupting his rhythm in midfield.
Philip Zinckernagel (CHI) vs. DeJuan Jones (NE)
Zinckernagel has 4 goals in his last 10 games; his ability to cut inside from the wing could create overloads against Jones.
