New England Revolution entertain Columbus Crew at the Gillette Stadium in Major Soccer League on Saturday. The hosts haven't prevailed over Columbus since May 2021.
New England opened their campaign with a goalless draw with Nashville SC. The hosts will hope to make the most of their two straight home matches, starting with this one. However, they have won only two times in their last five outings at the Gillette Stadium.
The Revs had a terrible campaign last term, finishing 26th spot, and didn't qualify for the playoffs. The 2007 U.S. Open Cup winners will strive to claim their first win of the season at home. However, Columbus are a tough opponent and have been New England’s long-standing nemesis.

Columbus, meanwhile, found success in their opener, beating Chicago Fire 4-2 at home, snapping a three-game losing streak across competitions. It was also the visitors’ second game since the end of last season. They played only one friendly in the off-season.
The Crew, who have won the MLS Cup twice, will look to replicate their brilliant campaign last season. They finished second in the Eastern Conference and second overall and made it to the playoffs. Columbus will hope to extend their eight-game unbeaten run against New England in this clash.
