Game Preview: New England Revolution vs. Montreal Impact
July 9, 2020 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
New England Revolution News Release
ORLANDO, Fla. - The New England Revolution (0-1-1) are set to resume the club's 25th Major League Soccer season against the Montreal Impact (1-0-1) in Group C of the MLS is Back Tournament on Thursday night. The match kicks off at 8:00 p.m. ET at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla., and will be televised nationally in Spanish on TUDN. The contest is streaming live with English commentary on Twitter (follow @NERevolution or @MLS), and airs locally on the radio with Brad Feldman and Charlie Davies calling the action on 98.5 The Sports Hub and SiriusXM FC Channel 157.
The Revolution return to competitive action tonight after more than a four-month stoppage in play, last taking the pitch for a 1-1 draw with Chicago Fire FC on March 7. In his first full campaign with the Revolution, Sporting Director and Head Coach Bruce Arena will look for his team to rebound from its season-opening loss to the Impact, a 2-1 defeat north of the border in Montreal Head Coach Thierry Henry's MLS managerial debut.
One key difference maker will be Revolution captain Carles Gil, the reigning MLS Newcomer of the Year and 2019 Best XI selection, who is poised to make his 2020 debut after sitting out the season's opening matches with a foot injury. Gil looks to build a formidable attack alongside Gustavo Bou and Adam Buksa. Buksa, the 23-year-old Polish striker who was added as New England's third Designated Player this offseason, scored his first MLS goal in the March 7 meeting with Chicago.
Following the match, Bruce Arena and select Revolution players will be available to media in a live video press conference. Click Here to join (password: MLSPress).
