Columbus is unbeaten in seven straight home matches against New England (W5 D2, incl. playoffs), last losing at home to the Revs in the 2014 playoffs. This is the Crew’s longest unbeaten home run against New England since going nine straight from 1997 to 2001.
The Crew’s unbeaten run extended to eight games (W4 D4) with a 2-0 win over Cincinnati on Sunday. The run is the Crew’s longest regular season unbeaten run since going nine straight without defeat (W4 D5) in April-June 2018.
New England lost, 2-1, in Philadelphia on Saturday after scoring the game’s opening goal. The Revs have lost an MLS-high 24 points from winning positions this season, as they lead the league in most games failing to win after leading (10) and are tied for most losses after leading (4 – Vancouver).
Cucho Hernández scored the Crew’s first goal in their 2-0 win over Cincinnati on Sunday, making it three straight games with a goal to begin his MLS career. Hernández is the eighth player in MLS history to score in his first three MLS games and could become the fifth to do so in his first four.
Gustavo Bou has scored in three straight MLS matches, the third time since the start of last season that Bou has had a scoring run of at least three games. One of those runs was a five-match goalscoring streak in May-July 2021, with the last of those goals coming against Columbus.
