NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION have made a terrible start to the Major League Soccer campaign and find themselves propping up both the Eastern Conference and the overall table as they make the trip to Nashville SC.
Having finished fifth last term to reach the play-offs it has been a desperately disappointing start for the Revolution who lost 10 of their first 13 games to fall adrift at the foot of the table.
Caleb Porter, who won the MLS Cup with Portland Timbers and Columbus Crew, took over in December but has so far been unable to work his magic. New England have lost six of their last seven games and desperately need a win in Nashville.
It hasn't been a great campaign for Nashville SC either and they sit in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference, just outside the play-off slots.
But Rumba Munthali has overseen an improvement since replacing axed boss Gary Smith earlier this month and will be looking for three points against demoralised New England.
How the bookies view it: Nashville backed to be on-song
With New England Revolution in such poor form it's no surprise to see them as Bet365's 18/5 outsiders for this one. Nashville SC are 4/6 favourites and the draw pays 11/4.
Recent head to head: Little between these teams
These sides have only met six times before and Nashville have the edge, claiming two wins and suffering just one defeat. It was honours even last year in the MLS with New England winning 1-0 at home then losing 3-2 in Nashville.
Players to watch: Sam's the man for Nashville
Former Stoke and Nottingham Forest striker Sam Surridge is plying his trade in America with Nashville and has netted five times this season, including a hat-trick at home to Montreal. He's 15/8 to add his tally here.
Spanish playmaker Carles Gil has been posting decent numbers in a struggling New England Revolution side, chipping in with four goals so far. The former Deportivo La Coruna and Aston Villa man is 15/4 for anytime scorer.
Probable line-ups
Randall Leal and Lucas MacNaughton look set to miss out again for Nashville SC while Brandon Bye, Nacho Gil ,Tommy McNamara, Peyton Miller are sidelined for New England Revolution.
Nashville SC: Panicco, Lovitz, Bauer, Zimmerman, Godoy, Davis, Yearwood, Mukhtar, Shaffelburg, Muyl, Surridge.
New England Revolution: Ivacic, Arreaga, Mensah, Lima, Jones, Chancalay, Polster, C Gil, Borrero, Kaye, Vrioni.
Anything else catch the eye?
Nashville SC have lost just once at home all season while New England Revolution have claimed just a single triumph on the road. That points towards this being a comfortable match for the hosts and backing them to be winning at half-time and full-time boosts the odds to 13/8.
Three of Nasvhille SC's last four games at home have seen under 2.5 goals so there could be a bit of value in that bet here at evens. Betting against BTTS stands a chance as well at 19/20.
Both meetings last term produced 11 corners so going for over 10.5 corners could be worth a punt in this clash at odds of 11/8.
