The last five meetings between the New England Revolution and the Columbus Crew SC all ended in draws. No matchups in MLS history has ended in a draw in six straight meetings.
The New England Revolution are unbeaten in its first 15 home matches this season (W11 D4) following a 2-1 win over Charlotte FC on Saturday. Only six teams in MLS history have gone unbeaten in 16 or more straight home matches to start a season, with all of them finishing the year unbeaten at home.
The Columbus Crew SC have suffered only three defeats in its last 17 regular-season matches dating back to late May (W9 D5). Only the Los Angeles Galaxy (2) have fewer losses than the Columbus Crew SC (3, tied with FC Cincinnati, New England Revolution and Orlando City SC) in that time.
All six of Giacomo Vrioni’s regular-season goals this season have come at home. The last New England Revolution player to score six or more goals in a season with all of them coming in home games was Steve Ralston in 2009 (7).
Cucho Hernandez recorded his 37th MLS goal contribution (23 goals, 14 assists) in his 40th regular-season match in the Columbus Crew SC’s draw on Saturday. Only four players in the last decade (Z. Ibrahmovic – 46, S. Giovinco – 46, C. Vela – 45, and J. Martinez – 41) had more in their first 40 MLS games.
