RECENT FORM VS. COLUMBUS CREW SC
The Revs will return to Foxborough for their home opener as they host Columbus Crew SC on Saturday (March 9), which will be the earliest opener at Gillette Stadium in club history.
New England have beaten Columbus just once in the past six meetings, dropping four of those matches and playing to a thrilling 2-2 draw last April at Mapfre Stadium. In their most recent meeting, last May at Gillette Stadium, Crew SC claimed a 1-0 win.
The Revs will look to extend their unbeaten run in home openers to 13 games in Saturday's matchup, so it will be an Eastern Conference showdown that you won't want to miss.
