It's still early in the Major League Soccer season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Real Salt Lake - New England preview!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
5-11-13 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for New England when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 29 matches are 41-64 (scored/conceded).
These teams have little in common geographically as New England have to travel 3800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
