New England v New York Red Bulls

New England Revolution vs New York RB Preview

In this all-Eastern Conference clash at the Gillette Stadium, bottom club New England Revolution will play host to high-flying fourth placed New York RB with both sides heading into this encounter on the back of wins last time out; New England Revolution registered a 2-1 win away from home at Nashville, while New York RB recorded a 1-0 home win against Orlando City last weekend.

It's been a wretched campaign so far in the MLS for New England Revolution as the hosts have managed to capture just three wins from a total of 14 games played to date this term which were achieved by way of victories over the likes of Charlotte, Chicago Fire and the aforementioned win against Nashville and it's worth mentioning that two of these three wins were gained on their travels.

However, New England Revolution have also been handed no fewer than 10 defeats within their 14 games played to date this season and results on home soil have also suffered in recent times as well; Caleb Porter's side have won just once in their last eight home games at the Gillette Stadium along with being dealt six defeats in the process.

New York RB further strengthened their position in the top seven pack of the Eastern Conference ladder with a 1-0 home win against Orlando City, moving up into fourth place in the Conference table as well as winning four out of their last five games as well.

Despite slipping up 2-1 to their city rivals New York City in the recent Big Apple derby, New York RB have also collected important wins against New England Revolution (4-2 at home), DC United and Charlotte and along with the win last time out against Orlando City, the visitors have scored a total of 13 goals in their last five games overall in the MLS.

This could spell further trouble for their upcoming hosts, New England Revolution, especially as New York RB have been handed just two defeats out of their last 12 matches overall, whilst also picking up six wins in the process.

It's true that New York RB have produced a mixed bag of results on the road in the past few months, collecting just three wins from their last 10 outings on their travels but Sandro Schwarz's side bring an encouraging sequence of results overall into this upcoming tussle at the Gillette Stadium and the visitors will fancy their chances of taking the spoils here this weekend.
