The Eastern Conference of the MLS returns with another round of fixtures this weekend as the New England Revolution lock horns with a struggling DC United outfit at the Audi Field. The Revs are currently in a rich vein of form and are the favourites to win this game.
DC United have endured a miserable season so far and are currently rooted to the bottom of the MLS table. The home side suffered a shock 1-0 defeat against Nashville during the week and is in desperate need of a victory.
The New England Revolution, on the other hand, are currently in fifth place in the MLS table and have plenty of work to do to move up the standings in the next few weeks. The Revs managed an excellent 3-1 victory against the Montreal Impact earlier this week and should be able to win this game.
DC United vs New England Revolution Head-to-Head
DC United and the New England Revolution are on an even footing as far as the head-to-head record is concerned and have won 15 matches apiece out of a total of 41 fixtures between the two sides.
The two teams clashed in the group stage of the 'MLS is Back' tournament and the game ended in a 1-1 stalemate. Adam Buksa got on to the scoresheet on the day and will play a pivotal role in tomorrow's match.
