Our prediction for this MLS match:
New England Revolution will look to build on a 2-1 win over Charlotte when they take on Columbus Crew in a highly-anticipated MLS game. The Revs have been impressive at home ground this season and they have yet to suffer a loss at their Gillette Stadium. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Rivera, Bye, Kessler, Borrero, and Maciel remain in the recovery room.
Columbus Crew, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Philadelphia Union. The visitors have a chance to overtake New England in third place in the Eastern Conference, but seeing that the Revs are tough to beat at home, the share of spoils is on the horizon. Midfielder William Sands is sidelined with a knee injury, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Foxborough.
Highlighted Team (New England Revolution):
Unlike famous NFL club New England Patriots, the Revolution have yet to win the domestic trophy. New England participated five times in the MLS Cup final, but they were more than fortunate not to lift the silverware. The Revs played their last final in 2014, with the team losing to LA Galaxy in the title game at StubHub Center. New England Revolution, though, clinched the North American SuperLiga trophy in 2008 and that is considered as the club’s biggest success.
It has to be noted that the Revs defeated Houston Dynamo on penalties in the final of the tournament. New England Revolution were founded in 1994 and Gillette Stadium is the home ground of the club. Legendary defender Alexi Lalas played for the Revolution (1996-1997) and he scored three goals for the Gillette Stadium outfit. Fellow USA ace Clint Dempsey was part of the team as well and you should know that he netted 25 goals in 71 league appearances for the club.
