The Revolution desperately need a win, something that they have only earned once since May 2nd.

The defending Eastern Conference Champions have been on an incredibly poor run of form lateley, only taking 10 points since the beginning of May. One of the two wins that they have recorded since then came against tonight’s opponents, the New York Red Bulls.

The Red Bulls currently sit in sixth position in the Eastern conference, one point behind New England, but with three games in hand.

New England has been abysmal away from Gillette Stadium, failing to record a victory in their past seven attempts. Could this edition of the I-95 Rivalry change that?
