Carles Gil has emerged as one of the league's top attacking midfielders, a performance that was anticipated prior to the season.

As the New England Revolution (Revs) approach the halfway mark of the 2025 MLS season, they are preparing to face Nashville SC, the same team they began their season against in late February.

The Revs have had a challenging start, playing 10 of their first 17 matches on the road, but they are optimistic about improving their performance at home, where they will play 10 of their final 17 matches in Foxborough.

This season has seen significant changes for the team, with 16 new players joining the roster, which initially led to struggles including a 0-0 draw and three consecutive losses.

Defender Tanner Beason has noted the progress the team is making, emphasizing the importance of building chemistry and striving for more victories.

Young talent Peyton Miller, at just 17 years old, has expressed confidence in the team's playoff aspirations, highlighting the importance of every match as they aim for the MLS Cup.

Currently, the Revs sit 11th in the Eastern Conference with 23 points, only two points shy of playoff positions and nine points behind third-place Nashville.

The 2025 season has brought unexpected twists, including the defending champions, LA Galaxy, languishing at the bottom of the standings, while expansion team San Diego FC has made a strong debut.

A tactical shift in April from a 4-2-3-1 formation to a 3-4-1-2 has revitalized the Revs' performance, leading to a nine-game unbeaten streak, which was recently snapped by a narrow 1-0 loss to FC Cincinnati.
