The Revolution are unbeaten in their last three visits to Chicago (W2 D1) including a 3-2 win in their last visit in September 2021. New England has never won consecutive visits to Chicago in MLS (41 games, including playoffs).
The Fire’s 3-2 win over Cincinnati on Saturday marked the sixth time they’ve scored three goals in a match this season. Chicago has 16 points (W5 D1 L0) when scoring three or more goals this season, while they have just 22 points in the 27 matches in which they’re held under three (W5 D7 L15).
A year after setting the points record (73) and winning the Supporter’s Shield, New England will miss the playoffs. The Revs are the eighth team in MLS history (excluding Fusion, who folded after 2001 and Earthquakes, who moved to Houston after 2005) to miss the playoffs after winning the Shield.
Jhon Duran scored two of the Fire’s three goals in their win at Cincinnati on Saturday, the third multi-goal game o Duran’s MLS career. He is the third player to record three multi-goal games before turning 19, joining Eddie Gaven and Ricardo Pepi.
Carles Gil recorded his 14th assist of the season, setting up Gustavo Bou for New England’s second goal in its win over Atlanta on Saturday. Gil, who had 18 assists last season, is one assist away from becoming the first player in Revolution history to record multiple 15-assist regular seasons.
