CF MONTR\u00c9AL<\/p>\n<p>New England split last year&#8217;s series with CF Montr\u00e9al, earning one win and one loss. Their 2025 matchups started off strong for the Revolution, who dominated the Canadian side with a 3-0 shutout victory as the visitors at Stade Saputo. Later in the season, New England suffered as hosts, falling 3-1 when Montr\u00e9al visited Gillette Stadium last July.<\/p>\n<p>The Revolution enter this matchup looking to rebound from a 3\u20131 loss at St. Louis CITY SC, but their lone home match of the season offers optimism. In their only outing in Foxborough so far this year, New England delivered a powerful 6-1 win over FC Cincinnati. With another chance to play in front of the home crowd, New England will look to find their second win of the season against CF Montr\u00e9al.<\/p>\n<p>While the Revolution have played four games to Montr\u00e9al&#8217;s five, both clubs have collected just a single three-point result. For CF Montr\u00e9al it came as a 3-0 victory over Red Bull New York at Sports Illustrated Stadium. Sitting 12th in the Eastern Conference table, Montr\u00e9al&#8217;s -7 goal differential is the second worst in the conference.<\/p>\n<p>The match against CF Montr\u00e9al marks the first of a three-game homestand for the Revolution, as New England will look to capitalize on home advantage and gain valuable points during this stretch.<\/p>\n<p>Overall Record vs. CF Montr\u00e9al: 18-14-4<br \/>Home Record vs. CF Montr\u00e9al: 9-6-2<\/p>\n<p>Last meeting at Gillette Stadium: CF Montr\u00e9al 3, Revs 1 (July 25, 2025)<br \/>Last meeting at Stade Saputo: Revs 3, CF Montr\u00e9al 0 (May 31, 2025)<\/p>\n<p>\n      SHOW YOUR COLORS<\/p>\n<p>The Revolution will sport the &#8220;Independence Day&#8221; kit on Saturday afternoon. Released at the start of the 2026 season, it will serve as the team&#8217;s Club Kit through the 2026-27 campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Honoring 250 years of American Independence, the kit pays homage to the New England history which helped shape the country. The bold design leans into the themes of celebration, inspired by the classic patriotic bunting and the fireworks displays that have been lighting up New England skies for a quarter Millenium. With the Heritage Tree on the shirtfront and &#8220;Est. 1776&#8221; on the collar, the kit embodies New England pride.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Independence Day jersey is paired with navy shorts adorned by three red stripes down each side. The red, white, and blue socks also sport the Revolution seal across the shins.<\/p>\n<p>You can purchase your &#8220;Independence Day&#8221; kit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlsstore.com\/en\/new-england-revolution\/jerseys\/t-36897964+d-92006471+z-987-2557266983?_ref=p-TLP:m-FD\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THE BASICS New England Revolution vs. CF Montr\u00e9al\u00a0 Saturday, April 4 | 4:30 p.m. ET Gillette Stadium |&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":573281,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194292],"tags":[49,48,20750,2338,20748],"class_list":{"0":"post-573280","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-montreal","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-mls-regular-season","11":"tag-montreal","12":"tag-new-england-revolution"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=573280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573280\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/573281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=573280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=573280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=573280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
