It may seem like a distant memory now, but Columbus Crew SC defeated the New England Revolution in the middle game of the most recent homestand. The Revolution provided the only three points for Columbus during that stretch.
The Black & Gold has played two matches since the clubs last met, falling to Toronto FC 2-1 at home before defeating the Montreal Impact 3-2 on the road last weekend.
Since the previous meeting with Crew SC, New England picked up a decisive victory against a depleted Real Salt Lake winning 4-0.
