The New England Revolution come into MAPFRE Stadium on Saturday off the team’s first win of the season, a 2-1 victory over surging Minnesota United at home. Only their second time in five tries picking up points, it’s starting to look like the Revolution are a mirror-image of the team from last season. Quite simply: they lack clinical finishing. They have the third-most shot attempts in Major League Soccer which is good enough for a mere 16 on goal, fifth fewest in MLS and the lowest conversion in the league.
