August 5, 2022 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – New England Revolution News Release
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution (6-7-9; 27 pts.) will visit Orlando City SC (8-9-6; 30 pts.) on Saturday night for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff at Exploria Stadium. The match airs on WSBK-TV38, myRITV (Rhode Island), and Cozi TV (Western Mass.), and 98.5 The Sports Hub with Brad Feldman and Charlie Davies calling the action. The match also airs on 1260 AM Nossa Radio in Portuguese.
New England registered its second consecutive clean sheet, and its fifth shutout of the 2022 campaign, with last Saturday’s 0-0 draw against Toronto FC in front a season-high crowd of 29,097 at Gillette Stadium. The Revolution have not conceded a goal from open play in the last three games and are looking to record three straight shutouts for the first time since 2015.

He will combine with midfielder Carles Gil, the league’s co-leader with 11 assists, before the Revolution captain heads off to 2022 MLS All-Star Week in Minnesota following the match.
New England are undefeated in their last seven regular season meetings with Orlando, 3-0-4, and own a 5-2-7 mark in the all-time series. However, the Revolution have only won once in Orlando, a 3-1 triumph in the 2020 Eastern Conference Semifinals. Entering Saturday’s tilt, the Lions have collected just one victory in their last seven MLS games with a 1-4-2 record during that stretch.
