The Eastern Conference of the MLS returns with another round of fixtures this weekend as the New England Revolution lock horns with a struggling DC United outfit at the Audi Field. The Revs are currently in a rich vein of form and are the favourites to win this game.
DC United have endured a miserable season so far and are currently rooted to the bottom of the MLS table. The home side suffered a shock 1-0 defeat against Nashville during the week and is in desperate need of a victory.
The New England Revolution, on the other hand, are currently in fifth place in the MLS table and have plenty of work to do to move up the standings in the next few weeks. The Revs managed an excellent 3-1 victory against the Montreal Impact earlier this week and should be able to win this game.
