The New England Revolution face struggling Eastern Conference rivals Toronto FC tonight at Gillette Stadium. TFC is coming off of a dramatic late victory over Columbus, while the Revolution will look to extend their recent winning streak to three matches as they continue to scrap and fight for a playoff berth in a crowded East race.
The Revs own the all-time series between the two clubs to-date, posting a 5-3-6 record since Toronto joined the league in 2007. They've been even more dominant at home, going 5-1-2 over that stretch. The Reds actually claimed the 2012 season series with a 1-1-0 record, but New England has already defeated them once in 2013, a 2-0 victory in May.
