By their standards, Columbus Crew have underperformed in their last two MLS matches, and when they get to host New England Revolution, the target will be to stop a two-game winless run. Columbus Crew are fifth in the Eastern Conference with 15 points from 10 matches while New England are top of the standings with 23 points, having played 11 matches. Columbus Crew are coming from a 0-0 draw with struggling Austin, after earlier losing 1-0 to Philadelphia Union. Having failed to score in the last two matches, Columbus Crew will be keen on addressing that, in what is expected to be a tougher game than the earlier two. Having won three straight league games before this slump, and scoring two goals in each of them could however be the needed motivation. Two clean sheets only in the last eight league matches, however, suggests a need to work on the defence too. Only two of their last seven matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

New England Revolution are coming from a shock defeat, at the hands of Dallas, who started the game bottom of the Western Conference. Once again New England’s defensive deficiencies were brought to the fore, as Ricardo Pepi scored a brace to hand New England their second loss of the season. They still remained top despite the defeat and the in-form Gustavo Bou managed to get his fourth goal in five matches. Their matches have been registering a lot of goals, and New England are among the top scoring sides in the two conferences, having managed 18 goals so far. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they’ve managed to score three in three of the five. New England have failed to score in just one of their 11 league matches this season.
