Revolution seek spirited play at home vs. Toronto FC
New England Revolution (8‑14‑7, 31 points) will look to avoid a third consecutive loss when they host Toronto FC (5‑13‑10, 25 points) on Saturday, September 13, 2025, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. New England sits 11th in the Eastern Conference, 11 points back of the playoff line with just five matches remaining. They’ve beaten Toronto once already this season (2‑0 in May) and will aim to sweep the season series. Toronto, meanwhile, hopes to stretch its unbeaten run to five matches but remains in danger of playoff elimination.

New England Revolution Can Win If…
- They capitalize on home‑field advantage. With few matches left, strong performances in Foxborough are must‑wins.
- Key players step up offensively. Carles Gil and Leo Campana did the damage last meeting; if they connect early again, Toronto will be under pressure.
- They maintain defensive discipline: limiting Toronto’s counterattacks and avoiding mistakes at the back will be crucial.
“My mindset is simple: I’m going to keep moving this club forward,” said New England coach Caleb Porter. “That means short term, win the next game at home. We have three home games left. For me, those home games are very important — getting results in all three, starting with Toronto.”
Toronto FC Can Win If…
- They get tight at the back. New England have shown they can break teams down, and Toronto must not give away early goals.
- They convert precious chances. Toronto’s recent streak without a loss gives hope, but finishing has been sporadic; if they can be efficient, they can steal something.
- Mental resilience comes through. Toronto coach Robin Fraser stressed that the team has been working hard; a full 90‑minute concentration could be the difference.
“I think we’re in a good place mentally,” Toronto coach Robin Fraser said. “Obviously, we’re not happy about where we are in the table, but I feel like the team has really done everything they can in terms of work and preparation and what they’ve done in the games.”

The Lean
Pick: New England Revolution Moneyline
Projected Final Score: Revolution 2, Toronto FC 1
Reasoning: New England need this more; playing at home with familiarity vs. Toronto that has shown resilience but lacks killer instinct. I expect New England to take control, Toronto to respond but falter in the end as fatigue or lapses creep in. Likely both teams will score, and the match might be slightly open.
