FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution (1-3-1, 4 pts.) are on the road this weekend to take on Columbus Crew SC (3-1-1, 10 pts.) on Saturday, April 6 at MAPFRE Stadium. The match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be televised locally on NBC Sports Boston, with Brad Feldman and Paul Mariner calling the action.

Following the club's first three-point effort of the season, a 2-1 home win against Minnesota last Saturday, the Revs are looking to claim a second straight result at MAPFRE Stadium after a 2-2 draw in the last trip to Columbus on April 21, 2018. Forwards Teal Bunbury and Cristian Penilla, the Revs' top two leading scorers last year, tallied the goals in that match. Saturday's contest marks the second and final meeting between the two sides this year, as Crew SC claimed a 2-0 win at Gillette Stadium on March 9.
