FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution (1-3-1; 4 pts.) will visit Inter Miami CF (0-4-1; 1 pt.) on Saturday afternoon at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The nationally televised match kicks off at 3:00 p.m. ET on ESPN and ESPN Deportes, with local radio coverage on 98.5 The Sports Hub and 1260 AM Nossa Radio (Portuguese).

The Revolution, 1-1-0 in the series with 2020 MLS expansion side Inter Miami, produced a five-goal outburst in the club's first-ever trip to DRV PNK Stadium on July 21, 2021. Midfielder Arnór Traustason and forward Adam Buksa each tallied a brace in the match, though Buksa will miss this Saturday's encounter to suspension after receiving a red card on April 2 against the Red Bulls. Midfielder Carles Gil, who ranks third league-wide with 16 chances created this season, owns two assists in two games against the Herons. The reigning MLS MVP enters Saturday's match as New England's top scorer with two goals in 2022.

New England, 1-3-1 this season, aims to return to the win column after dropping a home result to the New York Red Bulls, 1-0, via an unlucky own goal in their last outing. Goalkeeper Brad Knighton logged his season debut and registered five saves in the contest, while Homegrown Player Justin Rennicks suited up for his second MLS start - his first since 2019. Knighton, now in his club-record 12th season with the Revolution, recorded a clean sheet in the 5-0 win at Inter Miami last season.

The Herons enter Saturday's match in search of their first victory in 2022. Miami is riding a four-game losing skid as their attack has netted a league-low three goals this season, while conceding 13. Forward Gonzalo Higuaín has scored two goals to lead second-year head coach Phil Neville's team.
