New England will host Charlotte at Gillette Stadium in Major League Soccer action on Saturday.
New England vs Charlotte Preview
With five rounds of games to go, the fate of most teams is pretty clear. New England are pushing for the second spot in the overall table which remains achievable, with Cincinnati already nine points clear at the top. The hosts are seventh-placed, level on 49 points with Colombia and Atlanta, who both sit slightly above.
The Revs finished 20th last season and did not qualify for the playoffs but are on the verge of making it this time. They would qualify for the first round of the playoffs if they maintain their current position. Both teams met in the Eastern Conference last February, with New England prevailing 1-0 on the road.

Charlotte FC have been unable to turn around their campaign which began with chaos. The situation may not improve until the end of the season. However, this is their second-ever campaign in Major League Soccer, with head coach Christian Lattanzio claiming “the learning process is still very much in progress.”
The Crown have won seven out of 29 games, drawing 12 and losing 10. They sit 13th in the Eastern Conference and 26th overall with 33 points.
