Our prediction for this MLS match:
New England Revolution will be looking to extend their winning run to five games when they take on Columbus Crew on Sunday morning. The Revs look unstoppable at the moment, but they can’t afford any complacency in the Gillette Stadium clash. Giacomo Vrioni serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while the opposition back-line should have Albania forward Giacomo Vrioni at bay.
Columbus Crew, on the other hand, aim to build on a splendid 4-0 win over Sporting Kansas City. The visitors are eager to give fans yet another reason to celebrate, but beating the high-flying Revs at Gillette Stadium is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Cucho Hernandez, who scored a hat-trick in the last league match.
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.
