A three-game MLS road trip ends for the New England Revolution on Saturday, as they travel to Saputo Stadium for a date with CF Montreal.

Le CFM remain bottom of the Eastern Conference, losing 4-2 to Inter Miami the last time out, while the Revs are 10th after playing to a 1-1 draw with DC United.

On Wednesday, Montreal looked overwhelmed and in awe of the opposition, and it cost them once again as their dismal 2025 campaign took another hit.

Marco Donadel's men conceded four efforts on target, but they all wound up in the back of the net, with this team allowing 29 goals in MLS thus far, the most in the Eastern Conference.

There have not been many positives for them to take away from their outings this year, but one small one might be the fact that they have collected a point in two of their last three domestic home games.

At the same time, they are still seeking their first home triumph of the regular season, a big shift from how they ended 2024, winning their final four regular-season affairs at Saputo Stadium.

There is still time to make up ground, but they are currently 14 points below the Eastern Conference playoff line, a sign of how far they have dropped from last year when they made the post-season.

Six of their Eastern Conference-leading 10 defeats this year have been by a single goal, two of which occurred at Saputo Stadium.

For a second consecutive time in this competition, the Revolution failed to hold onto a narrow lead Wednesday, keeping them below the post-season line.

Caleb Porter's side have now dropped seven points in MLS this year when netting the opening goal and are two points behind Charlotte FC for the final playoff spot in the East.

Five of their seven goals conceded domestically this month have come in the final 45 minutes of play, while they have given up two goals this year in second-half stoppage time.

The Revs enter this contest with points in six straight league contests away from home, their longest stretch without an MLS defeat this decade.

New England have scored the third-fewest goals in the Eastern Conference this season (16), though 12 of them took place outside Greater Boston.

In this exact fixture a year ago, the Revs came away with a convincing 5-0 triumph, ending a two-match losing run for them at Saputo Stadium, losing those two previous visits to Montreal before last year by a combined margin of 5-0.
