Columbus Crew vs New England Revolution: Prediction, H2H & Betting Tips

New England Revolution produced a dominant attacking performance to secure a 3-1 comeback victory over Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer. The hosts made a dream start when B. Mendez found the back of the net after just eight minutes, but the early lead proved fleeting as the visitors took control.

Setting up in a 4-3-3 shape under Marko Mitrovic, New England ramped up the pressure and restored parity in the 32nd minute through M. Polster. The momentum stayed with the away side, and D. Turgeman struck in the 41st minute to overturn the deficit and send the Revolution into the break leading 2-1.

Laurent Courtois turned to his Columbus bench just past the hour mark, withdrawing booked midfielder T. Karumanchi and J. Martinez to spark a response from his 4-4-2 system. However, New England maintained their cutting edge, surviving a 74th-minute VAR check involving Turgeman before C. Gil sealed the result with a 79th-minute goal moments after teammate A. Yusuf had been shown a yellow card.

The final numbers reflected New England's superiority in the final third, as they racked up 21 total attempts and 11 shots on goal despite holding 48 percent possession. Columbus managed just seven shots with Mendez's opener being their sole effort on target, handing the Revolution their 13th win across the last 36 meetings between the sides.
