The New England Revolution will take on the Columbus Crew at Gillette Stadium on Sunday in an Eastern Conference contest.
Although the Revolution sit in the bottom half of the table, they are just two points from ninth-placed Atlanta United, who hold the conference's final MLS Cup playoff spot.
Furthermore, they are only seven points from seventh-placed Nashville SC, who occupy the division's final automatic MLS Cup spot and have played two games more than New England.
The visitors, meanwhile, are fifth with 30 points, but have played just 17 games and have at least two games in hand on every other team in the conference.
