The international break’s over. Nearly over is the MLS season; two more games, and we’re into the Audi™ MLS Cup Playoffs. With a win against the New England Revolution this evening, New York City can clinch a first-round bye and second place in the East for the second straight season.
With 56 points, the Pigeons have already beaten their previous best record of 54, set last season. They come into Gillette Stadium on a four-game unbeaten streak. But the Revolution have always played New York City tough. The all-time series between the two teams stands all square — each team has three wins, and they’ve shared the spoils twice.
