New England vs Nashville SC Match Analysis & Prediction
07/08/2024 2:30 am
Within touching distance of a spot in the Leagues Cup knockout stages, the New England Revolution take on Nashville SC at the Gillette Stadium on Wednesday.
New England Revolution kicked off their Leagues Cup campaign with a much-needed 1-0 victory at the expense of Liga MX side Mazatlan FC last Sunday.
A keenly-contested game in Foxborough looked set to be heading for penalties before Jack Panayotou broke the deadlock 20 minutes from time to drag Caleb Porter’s side over the line.
That snapped an underwhelming run of four matches without a victory – three of which ended in defeat by a combined score of 10-2 – for the Revs since they narrowly beat Atlanta United 2-1 on July 4.
The victory over Mazatlan also saw New England record a first clean sheet in nine matches across all competitions, providing a temporary respite at the back for the team with the fifth-most goals conceded in the MLS this season.
While the Revs only need one point from their final group-stage match, it is highly unlikely they take their foot off the gas with back-to-back home victories on the cards.
Meanwhile, Nashville’s downward spiral showed no sign of coming to an end anytime soon following Thursday’s disappointing 2-0 defeat to Mazatlan at Geodis Park in Tennessee.
Despite boasting two-thirds of the ball possession, a lacklustre second-half display saw Brian Joseph Callaghan’s side concede a quickfire double from 19-year-old Ramiro Arciga to come away empty-handed.
The Coyotes have now suffered defeat in seven matches in a row since recording successive wins over Toronto and New York City FC three days apart in June.
Amid a disappointing league campaign to date, Nashville will now set out to keep their quest for continental cup glory alive with what would be a rare victory on the road, having lost each of their last four away games.
New England vs. Nashville SC Head to head
In the previous eight meetings between these two teams, New England have claimed three victories while Nashville have won two, and they have drawn in three. They have scored seven goals apiece in the process.

Tomas Chancalay and Nacho Gil miss out for New England here through knee injuries, while Dylan Borrero continues to nurse a hip problem which has ruled him out since last month.
Noel Buck and Carles Gil will also be absent through quad and leg injuries respectively, but Emmanuel Boateng is fit for selection once again after returning to action from a torn hamstring last time out.

Long-term absentee Randall Leal (hip) and Julian Gaines (ankle) are still a considerable way of being available for Nashville, but Lukas MacNaughton (ankle) is further ahead in his recovery.
Tyler Boyd is still nursing a knee problem and will not play any part here alongside Walker Zimmerman, who was recently knocked out of the Olympic Games with the United States.
