The New England Revolution will conclude what has been a rapid run of games over the past two weeks by welcoming Minnesota United and Tomas Chancalay to Gillette Stadium.

The match will be a tough test as Minnesota is in the middle of a quality start to the season. While sixth in the Western Conference, Minnesota United would actually be fourth in the Eastern Conference.

Minny's strong start to the season has been backed by an impressive attack. Kelvin Yeboah's seven goals and Anthony Markanich's four goals and an assist.

“[Minnesota] is a very challenging team," head coach Marko Mitrovic said. "They have their uniqueness, both in and out of possession. They have a physical presence on the field as well. It’s going to be a very different game than the game against Nashville, in terms of certain tactical demands and challenges both in and out of possession. They’re also a team that’s very strong on set pieces. That’s something we’ll have to pay attention to as well. So, we’re looking forward to that challenge.”

Additionally, the match will serve as a reunion for Tomas Chancalay. The winger moved to Minnesota in the offseason and has been a key cog in the Loons' attack. Chancalay leads the team with three assists and also has a goal to his name.

Former teammate Will Sands is excited to go up against the winger.

"I'm excited to play Chanca," Sands said. "He's a wonderful person and a wonderful player. I think everyone is going to be very motivated. I think this will be a big game going into the World Cup break for momentum purposes and to kind of solidify our position in the standings. I am excited to see Tomas and excited to play against Minnesota."

The Revs will also have the challenge of breaking through an intense press from Minnesota. Minny is third in the league in the average height of its defensive actions as well as third in high actions per 96 minutes.

Additionally, the Loons are ninth in MLS 144 pressing sequences according to Opta.

“[Minnesota] are a team that from one starting shape that they have when they defend, they get into man-to-man and are very aggressive to press you higher on the field," Mitrovic said. "It’s going to be difficult to sustain the attack. We’ll have to find a way to break their man-to-man press and find moments where we can control the game with the ball.”
