The Story:

The Lions are set to square off against the New England Revolution, seeking their first win at Gillette Stadium after a 2-0 shutout win against the Colorado Rapids at Exploria Stadium this past weekend.

The Lions' last two matches have resulted in wins by two goals or more, with their last victory extending their current unbeaten streak to six matches.

City enters the weekend without a number of players, with goalkeeper Pedro Gallese, midfielders Facundo Torres and Wilder Cartagena and forward Wilfredo Rivera all on international duty. In addition, the Lions will be without defenders Kyle Smith and Antonio Carlos due to yellow card accumulation suspensions.

Quote of the Week:

"New England is a good team. They have good players and a very experienced coach. Like always, it's a different story and the context always helps us see the game, but I don't think you can dictate what is going to happen. We're building our game against New England like always. This time we hope we can get there and bring [back] three points."
