New England Revolution will entertain Club America at Gillette Stadium in the CONCACAF Champions Cup on Wednesday.
New England Revolution vs Club America Preview
The hosts appear to be struggling for form in their domestic league but are ironically enjoying a purple patch in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. New England Revolution are yet to record a win the 2024 Major League Soccer season after five rounds of games, losing four times and drawing once. They are rooted to the bottom of the standings with one point.
The Revs outperformed two-time winners Alajuelense 4-1 on aggregate in the Champions Cup round of 16 to reach the quarterfinals. Head coach Caleb Porter will be looking to maintain their momentum in the competition when they take on the Mexican giants at their turf in Foxborough.
Club America made a return to the competition this year after a two-year absence. They last participated in the 2021 edition when they reached the final and lost to fellow Mexican side Monterrey 2-1. America saw off the challenge of Mexican team Chivas Guadalajara, 5-3, in the round of 16 to progress to the current stage.
Águilas recovered from a three-game winless streak (D1, L2) through a 2-1 humbling of Atlético San Luis in Liga MX on Tuesday. That result moved them to the top of the standings, although tied at 28 points with second-placed Monterrey. With three wins from their last five trips, America will hope for the best at the Gillette Stadium.
