New England Revolution host Charlotte FC on Saturday, May 2, at 7:30 PM ET at Gillette Stadium, with both Eastern Conference sides looking to consolidate their playoff positions in MLS.
The Revs arrive in fine fettle — unbeaten in five, with four wins in that run — while the Crown travel north on the back of back-to-back heavy defeats on the road. Home advantage and momentum point firmly in New England’s favour, but Charlotte’s attack has the firepower to keep this honest.
The Revs have scored 17 goals in nine league games, and their attacking midfielder Luca Langoni has been their creative engine with six assists and six big chances created. Charlotte’s own attacking duo of Pep Biel and Wilfried Zaha means goals are rarely far away when the Crown visit — both teams to score looks a live option regardless of the result.

Season Form & Standings
New England sit fourth in the Eastern Conference with 16 points from nine games, four points clear of the playoff cut-off. Charlotte are fifth on 14 points from 10 outings — still comfortably in the top nine but with stuttering momentum, clean performances are becoming urgent. Both sides have been free-scoring: the Revs have netted 17 times, while the Crown have managed 18 games despite a leaky defense that has also let in 18.
| Eastern Conference | Pos | GP | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New England Revolution | 4 | 9 | 5 | 1 | 3 | 17 | 12 | +5 | 16 |
| Charlotte FC | 5 | 10 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 18 | 18 | 0 | 14 |
Potential Match-Winners
- Luca Langoni (New England Revolution): The Argentine attacking midfielder leads the Revs with six assists and six big chances created across nine league games — no New England player has unlocked defences more consistently this season.
- Peyton Miller (New England Revolution): Miller has scored three goals in just 264 minutes of league action this season, giving him an exceptional rate of a goal every 88 minutes — he is the Revs’ sharpest finisher when called upon.
- Pep Biel (Charlotte FC): The Spanish attacking midfielder tops Charlotte’s scoring charts with five goals and four assists in ten appearances, with eight shots on target — the one Crown player capable of turning this game on its head.
- Wilfried Zaha (Charlotte FC): Zaha has completed 18 successful dribbles in eight league games — more than any other Charlotte player — and has created four big chances, making him the most dangerous one-on-one threat the Crown possess.
Head-to-Head
New England hold the upper hand in this fixture, leading five wins to three across eight all-time MLS meetings with no draws. The Revs have won three of the last five encounters, though Charlotte did take the most recent meeting — a 2-1 win at Gillette as recently as August 2025. The Crown also produced a stunning 4-0 home win in September 2024, so they are capable of big results against the Revs when the mood takes them.

Recent Form
New England Revolution — W W W W D
- Apr 26: Inter Miami 1-1 New England (Draw, away)
- Apr 23: Atlanta United 1-2 New England (Win, away)
- Apr 19: New England 2-1 Columbus Crew (Win, home)
- Apr 12: New England 1-0 DC United (Win, home)
- Apr 4: New England 3-0 Montréal (Win, home)
The Revs are unbeaten in five, with their last defeat a 3-1 reverse at St. Louis City in March. Four wins from their last five shows genuine consistency, and the midweek draw at Inter Miami — a point from a tough road fixture — barely dents that momentum. Gillette Stadium has been a fortress lately: four wins on the bounce at home, including clean sheets against DC United and Montréal.
Charlotte FC — L L W L W
- Apr 26: Nashville SC 4-2 Charlotte (Loss, away)
- Apr 23: Orlando City 4-1 Charlotte (Loss, away)
- Apr 19: New York City 1-2 Charlotte (Win, away)
- Apr 12: Charlotte 1-2 Nashville SC (Loss, home)
- Apr 5: Charlotte 2-1 Philadelphia (Win, home)
Charlotte have shipped eight goals across their last two away games — the defensive vulnerability is real, not a blip. Three losses from their last four makes this a side under pressure despite sitting fifth. The win at NYCFC a couple of weeks ago offered a brief reminder of what the Crown can do on their day, but conceding four goals in consecutive road games is hard to paper over.

New England Revolution vs Charlotte FC Prediction
New England’s home form, unbeaten run, and the stark contrast in away defensive records make the Revs the solid pick here. Charlotte will carry a threat — Pep Biel and Zaha can cause problems for any defence — but the Crown have conceded 13 goals on the road this season and are walking into Gillette Stadium against a side that has found the net 12 times in four home games. Back New England to win, and with both sides capable of scoring, both teams to score at bet365 adds real value to the bet.
