RBNY hosts NE in a US Open Cup qualification match. While Backe doesn't put that much emphasis on the cup, he will field ess. the same lineup that defeated PUnion, 2-1. Caveat: Red Bulls are winless in their last 15 matches v. the Revs.
Revs need a win, but it doesn't appear they are emphasizing the cup much either though Nichol, as with Columbus on Sat., will have his charges put in the effort. GK Burpo and defenders Gibbs & Barnes didn't even travel. Throw in the fact that Alston is already inj and it is a makeshift back line.
