The battle for a place in the MLS Cup is on and in the Eastern Conference finals, Columbus Crew will play host to New England Revolution at the MAPFRE Stadium in Ohio. Columbus booked their slot after a 2-0 extra time win over Nashville SC while, New England Revolution saw off Orlando City 3-1. Columbus Crew carry to this game a three-match winning run, and four wins in the last five matches. They have scored in each of their last 13 matches but have conceded in eight of their last 10 matches. While overall they have a better head to head run against New England, the hosts will be seeking a first post season win over the Revs, having failed in the last seven meetings. Heading to this game having scored two or more goals in four of their last five matches should give them confidence. Four of Columbus’ last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and their run has been much stable at home, with five straight wins. However, they have just one clean sheet in seven home matches. Columbus head to this game with three straight wins over New England while they are unbeaten in the last four meetings, and have won six of the last eight.

New England Revolution also have a good run ahead of this match and will be hoping their post season form against the Crew checks in. The Revs have four wins in the last five matches and just like Columbus Crew, they have won each of the last three. They have failed to score in two of their last 10 matches and have three losses and six wins in the 10 matches. New England have conceded in nine of their last 10 matches and in four of those, they have let in two or more goals. Away from home, it has not been very rosy; the Revs have two wins in the last five on the road but will be looking to build on two straight away wins ahead of this game. In their last match, which was away from home, they beat Orlando City 3-1 with Gustavo Bou scoring twice to make it three goals in three matches. He will be the man relied upon again when they face Columbus for the eighth time in post season, and hoping to stay undefeated at that stage against the Crew.
