New England Revolution will be looking to climb second when they welcome Atlanta United to the Gillette Stadium in Wednesday's Major Soccer League (MLS) encounter.
Despite Saturday's 2-1 defeat at NY Red Bulls, the hosts are currently just two points clear of Atlanta United in the Eastern Conference. Bruca Arena's men will have their eyes set on thinning the eight-point gap between themselves and current leaders FC Cincinnati, too.
Whereas the visitors aim a third straight win following a 1-0 win over Montreal at the weekend in order to strengthen their place in the top half of the qualification games.
