FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution (13-5-10, 49 pts; . - 6th in East.) will return to Gillette Stadium for two straight home matches beginning Saturday, Sept. 30 against Charlotte FC (7-10-12, 33 - 13th in East).

After earning a 2-2 draw against Chicago Fire FC over the weekend, the Revolution are officially bound for the Audi 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs, the club's fourth postseason berth in the last five years. With five regular season games remaining for New England, the Revolution will look to leap back up the congested Eastern Conference standings, where they are one of three teams tied on 49 points, only two behind second-place Orlando City SC (51). The Revolution have had little trouble earning points at home, carrying a 10-0-4 record into the short homestand as the league's last team without a home loss.

In last Saturday's draw, New England forward Tomás Chancalay sparked the attack with six shots and netted the opening goal of the match, an unassisted tally. The 24-year-old Argentinian has now tallied three times in his first six MLS appearances. Midfielder Carles Gil tacked on his team-leading ninth tally of the season, one shy of his career high for goals (10 in 2019). With his next assist, Gil will become the second player in MLS history to record 14 or more assists in four different seasons, joining Carlos Valderrama (5).

The Revolution captain, once again a leading candidate for Landon Donovan MLS MVP and MLS Best XI and honors, has found the scoresheet in three consecutive matches, with two goals and one assist.

Across the teams' first three MLS meetings, New England owns a 2-1-0 record against Charlotte FC, which joined MLS as an expansion side in 2022. The Revolution opened the current season against the Crowns, registering a 1-0 win on the road. Charlotte enters the weekend four points below the playoff line, winless in its last five games.
