Two Eastern Conference rivals face off on Saturday night as the New England Revolution hosts the Chicago Fire at Gillette Stadium.
New England had made a lovely start to this season, but they’ve fallen off the pace in recent times. They’ve lost three straight in all competitions, including a shocking defeat in the U.S. Open Cup to USL outfit Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC. The Revs are still in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference, but they could use a win this weekend.
Chicago, meanwhile, has struggled in MLS play. They keep dropping points at home, and they sit only one spot above the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings.
