Head-to-Head History

Date	Result	Notable Moment
Mar 1, 2025	Crew 1–0 Revs	Russell-Rowe second-half winner
Oct 12, 2024	Crew 4–0 Revs	Dominant home performance
May 2023	Crew 2–2 Revs	Late equalizer from Gil

Columbus is unbeaten in last 15 meetings vs. New England (1–8–6)

Revs have not won in Columbus since May 2018

Columbus is simply too strong at home, and New England’s road form combined with defensive lapses make this a tough ask. Expect Rossi and Russell-Rowe to be difference-makers again.
