Columbus Crew SC will be on the road again for a second consecutive week in League play as it heads to Gillette Stadium to face the New England Revolution. Leading up to Saturday evening’s 7:30 p.m. kickoff, here are three things to know about the Revs.
Three-game losing streak
The Revolution are currently on a three-game losing streak. New England's most recent loss happened on Wednesday when the current leaders of the East, New York City FC, defeated the Revs 1-0 on their home field. Recently the Revs have struggled at home, losing their past two matches in Gillette Stadium.
Familiar face
Crew SC will be up against a familiar face in Kei Kamara in this contest. The former Columbus forward has scored two goals since joining the Revs in League play, both coming in Montreal on July 2. The native of Sierra Leone native added an additional goal for the Revs in the Round of 16 in the 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup against the New York Cosmos.
Shuttleworth out
The Revs will play against Columbus without goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth due to a red card suspension. Shuttleworth was sent off for denial of a goalscoring opportunity in the final minutes of stoppage time on Wednesday night when the Revolution hosted NYCFC. Shuttleworth has 39 saves and three shutouts so far this season.
