New England Revolution Seeks Offense Amidst Draw Streak
May 30, 2025 | Boston, MA – The New England Revolution, currently on an unbeaten streak in Major League Soccer (MLS) since early April, is facing challenges that have resulted in a worrying string of draws. Despite an impressive run of 5-1-4 since March 15, the team has struggled to convert performances into wins over the past month, ending four consecutive games in ties.
Head coach Caleb Porter, after a rocky start to the season, has seen his side solidify defensively with a shift to a 3-4-1-2 formation that initially yielded four straight clean sheets. However, defensively vulnerable moments have resurfaced, with the Revolution conceding three goals to both Orlando City and Sporting Kansas City, along with a last-minute equalizer against D.C. United.
Porter acknowledged the frustrations tied to the plethora of draws, admitting, “We’ve definitely felt like we’ve dropped some points… but we’re not getting beat and we’re still picking up points.”
With a busy schedule ahead, including road matches against teams like CF Montreal—who are struggling at the bottom of the Eastern Conference—the Revolution now face a crucial opportunity to turn draws into victories. Issues remain in the offensive department, especially following the trade that sent former striker Giacomo Vrioni to Montreal; he has matched the goal tally of New England’s forwards within just six matches this season.
Key players like Ignatius Ganago and Leo Campana need to amplify their scoring contributions. As they continue to seek offensive consistency, the Revolution is hoping for a resurgence in form that will propel them back into contention for the postseason.
