This will be the fourth MLS meeting between the Revs and Minnesota, with the home team winning each of the first three encounters. The most recent meeting between the sides saw New England win, 2-1, at home in March 2019.
New England extended its home unbeaten run to five games with a 1-1 draw against Orlando City on Wednesday night after taking a 1-0 lead. The Revs have now dropped a league-high 19 points from winning positions this season, eight more than any other team in the league.
Minnesota United ended a three-match road losing streak with a 2-1 win at FC Dallas in its last away match. The Loons have won consecutive regular season road games just twice before, doing so in the first two weeks of the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
Carles Gil scored his fourth goal of the season in New England’s draw with Orlando on Wednesday, but his first that wasn’t a penalty. Gustavo Bou provided the assist as he’s been the primary assister on four of Gil’s last five open play goals in MLS.
Emanuel Reynoso has gone six straight MLS games without a goal contribution, with his last involvements coming in a win over Chicago on April 23. This is the longest run of regular season games without a goal contribution for Reynoso, surpassing a five-match streak that branched the end of last season into this one.
