FC Cincinnati, currently second in the Eastern Conference, is looking to recover from a four-match winless streak after the international break. Coach Pat Noonan emphasized improving intensity and consistency, particularly on set-pieces, to regain their strong defensive form. Meanwhile, New England Revolution has been on an unbeaten run and aims to leverage home advantage in upcoming matches. Head coach Caleb Porter stresses the importance of maintaining momentum and building a 'fortress' at Gillette Stadium, especially after recent draws.
[We need to improve] our intensity in certain moments. Maybe we've gotten away from some of the areas that have made us strong in the past, as we look to be better defensively.
It's important that you get in a rhythm and a run, and we did that on the road. We've been one of the best road teams, but we're back at home now.
A lot of it was about accountability, about how the guys can come back in and add value. I think the break came at a good time for the group.
There have been some games recently we dropped points, so this month we've got to get on a run and build that fortress at Gillette.
