MLS action will continue this week as the top two sides in Eastern Conference collide, with the New England Revolution taking on FC Cincinnati at Gillette Stadium on Sunday. The hosts are currently leading the MLS Eastern Conference standings, with 20 points after nine matches, level with Cincinnati on points but with a better goal difference. The Revolution won their last match 2-1 against Sporting KC last weekend, which extended their unbeaten run to six matches. The hosts have gotten off to a good start this season with a record of six wins, two draws, and one loss, and have looked strong at home, where they are unbeaten in their first five league matches with four wins and a draw. New England have been the more dominant in this fixture in recent times, unbeaten in their last five matches against this opponent in all competitions, and despite both sides getting off to a solid start this campaign, the home team will want to notch up another win over this opponent to set the tone for the rest of the season. 

Meanwhile, Cincinnati have also gotten off to a flyer this season and come into this match following a 2-1 win over the Portland Timbers last weekend. The visitors are right on the heels of their opponent, matching their record of six wins, two draws, and one loss, with just five goals separating the pair at the top of the Eastern Conference. While their form overall has been good this term, Cincinnati have found it difficult on the road, winning just one of their four away matches, while drawing two and losing their last one against St Louis City by a massive 5-1 scoreline. Taking on the current league leaders on the road is always a tall order, and it’s likely going to be a tough ask for the visitors to get anything from this match.
