Saturday's match against the Revs marks the second of three straight games on the road for the Fire, who have five games remaining in the 2021 regular season.

Additionally, the Revolution are unbeaten in their last six matches (5-0-1) and have just one loss in 14 games played at home this season (11-1-2). Forwards Adam Buksa and Gustavo Bou lead the team in goals scored with 13 apiece, while midfielder Carles Gil has a league-high 16 assists.
