Revolution vs. Impact: Preview, Projected Lineups and How to Watch

The New England Revolution kept their playoff hopes alive last weekend by recording a 4-0 win over Orlando City SC. The Boys in Blue will hope to keep that momentum going when they host the Montreal Impact on Saturday night. Here’s what to expect:

Current Form

New England: L-W-L-L-W

Montreal: W-W-W-L-L

Chances to Win

The Revs have a 55% chance of collecting three points, according to FiveThirtyEight. The Impact’s odds of winning are at 22%.

Number that Matters Most

Zero

Call it a quirk in the schedule but the Revs have yet to face the Impact this year. The two clubs have their second meeting on Oct. 22, which will closeout the regular season.

Club Leaders

The Revolution's recent success has been driven by Kei Kamara and Teal Bunbury. Once considered expendable pieces, Kamara has collected seven goals in seven games while Bunbury has seven on the year.

The Impact are lead by top-scorer Ignacio Piatti. The striker is always dangerous as made evident by his 15 tallies to date. Piatti will be seconded by Blerim Dzemaili, who has eight helpers in his first season with the club. Defensively, goalkeeper Evan Bush will be looking to add to his five shutouts.
