Real Salt Lake - New England Revolution
Real Salt Lake face uphill battle against in-form Revolution
Sergi Solans leads the line for Real Salt Lake as they host the New England Revolution on 27 September 2026 for matchday 27 at America First Field. The hosts are currently enduring a difficult run, having failed to secure a victory in their last ten Major League Soccer outings, including a recent 2-0 defeat to Seattle Sounders FC. With key personnel like Diego Luna and Lukas Engel sidelined through injury, the expected XI will need to find defensive stability quickly to halt their slide. The side will look to rediscover the attacking spark that defined their 2-0 win over the visitors back in September 2024.
In contrast, the New England Revolution arrive with significant momentum, highlighted by a recent 4-2 victory over Orlando City. Their form has been robust, featuring a string of wins that included a successful two-legged tie against New York City FC. Despite missing Alhassan Yusuf and Jack Harrison, the visitors will rely on the creative influence of Carles Gil to dictate play. The Revolution have shown a consistent ability to find the net, and they will aim to exploit the current vulnerability of their hosts to maintain their upward trajectory in the standings.
