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<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Revs arrive in fine fettle \u2014 unbeaten in five, with four wins in that run \u2014 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.<\/p>\n

The Revs have scored 17 goals in nine league games, and their attacking midfielder Luca Langoni<\/strong> has been their creative engine with six assists and six big chances created. Charlotte’s own attacking duo of Pep Biel<\/strong> and Wilfried Zaha<\/strong> means goals are rarely far away when the Crown visit \u2014 both teams to score looks a live option regardless of the result. Check the MLS standings<\/a> for the full Eastern Conference picture heading into this one.<\/p>\n
