Our prediction for this MLS match:
Buoyed by a 3-2 win over Philadelphia Union, Columbus Crew will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on New England Revolution on Sunday morning. The Crew aim to cement second place in the standings and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against New England. A man to watch in the home team will be Cucho Hernandez, who scored a brace against Philadelphia Union, while both Bush and Zawadski remain in the recovery room.
The Revs, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Houston Dynamo and DC United, but seeing that they missed out on a spot in the playoffs, home win should be considered. Talented Colombia forward Dylan Borrero is pushing for a start, while both Tomas Chancalay and Will Sands remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Columbus Crew):
Columbus Crew are an American soccer club based in Columbus, Ohio. The Black & Gold participate in the Eastern Conference and in 2008 they won both the conference and the MLS CUP final. Columbus Crew defeated New York Red Bulls in the MLS Cup final, with the likes of Moreno, Marshall and Hejduk scoring for the Black & Gold in the title game.
The club welcome their rivals at Mapfre Stadium, the venue which was opened on May, 15 1999. The current capacity of the stadium is 19.968 and it has to be noted that Mapfre Stadium is the first soccer-specific venue ever built for a MLS club.
A number of high-profile players were part of Columbus Crew in the past, but Guillermo Barros Schelotto is the most famous footballer that wore the black and yellow shirt. Schelotto played for Columbus Crew from 2007 to 2010 and during his spell with the Mapfre Stadium outfit the Black & Gold won the aforementioned MLS Cup.
