Looking to make an instant return to winning ways on Wednesday, New England Revolution (6-11-1, 19 points) will welcome Atlanta United (6-8-6, 24 points) to the Gillette Stadium.
While this past Saturday's 5-1 drumming at the hands of Columbus Crew was not what New England had hoped for, a quick turnaround to Wednesday night's faceoff against Atlanta United FC allows the Revs to put the loss behind them and provide an apt response against a key rival in the East standings.
Currently, the Revolution are 14th in the Eastern Conference, only five points behind the playoff line, despite playing two fewer matches than most of the teams around them. Atlanta United now holds the Eastern Conference's last postseason spot, making Wednesday night's clash even more important.
