The Revolution are unbeaten in three straight matches against Atlanta United (W2 D1) including a 2-2 draw in Atlanta on May 15, after losing the previous four meetings. Both sides have recorded one win against each other in Foxborough, with the first two matches at New England ending in draws.
The Revolution have lost three straight matches after recording a four-match losing streak in March-April. This is the first time in Bruce Arena’s MLS career that his team has multiple losing streaks of at least three games in a single season.
Atlanta United has collected seven points from its last three games (W2 D1), its best three-game stretch, since March-April (also 7), including a 1-0 win at Orlando on September 14. That win ended a 13-match road winless run (D5 L8) for the Five Stripes that dated back to early April.
Carles Gil scored the Revolution’s last goal, a penalty against Houston on September 13. Four of Gil’s join-team high seven goals have been scored from the spot, level with Gustavo Bou, who hasn’t scored since July 16 and Adam Buska, who transferred to France in June.
Nine of Atlanta United’s last 11 goals have been scored via headers, with six those coming off corners. Only three of Atlanta’s 35 goals were scored via headers as well as just three coming off corners.
