New England Revolution enter Sunday's clash with Charlotte FC in poor form, having lost their last five consecutive games in all competitions, which has left them in 13th spot in the Eastern Conference.
This weekend's visitors to the Gillette Stadium have began their new era in the MLS well, currently sitting fifth in the table after picking up nine points from their first seven games.
We say: New England Revolution 0-1 Charlotte FC
Charlotte may have lost all three of their away game so far this season, but with New England in poor form ahead of this encounter, the visitors should fancy their chances of collecting maximum points.
The hosts are likely to make the game tight as their on home soil, but their confidence must be very low at the moment which could be a decisive factor in this weekend's result.

Western Conference high-flyers Los Angeles Galaxy travel to Soldier Field on Sunday, when they will face Chicago Fire, who currently sit sixth in the Eastern Conference.
This weekend's hosts suffered their first defeat of the campaign in their previous outing, while LA Galaxy enter this encounter after bouncing back from consecutive losses with two wins on the bounce.
We say: Chicago Fire 1-2 Los Angeles Galaxy
This is expected to be an entertaining encounter after both sides have started the season quite well, but entering this match on the back of a derby win could be the boost that Galaxy need in this away fixture.
Chicago have not scored a flurry of goals this season, which will play into the hands of Galaxy, who can then use the hosts' lack of attacking threat to make sure they outscore their opponents.

Colorado Rapids and Minnesota United have both recorded two wins, two draws and two losses in their first six games of the MLS campaign, sitting ninth and tenth in the Western Conference.
Sunday's hosts, Minnesota, enter this encounter on the back of consecutive defeats, while the Rapids are aiming to avoid back-to-back losses after their four-game unbeaten run was ended last time out.
We say: Minnesota United 1-1 Colorado Rapids
Both of these teams are looking to get back to winning ways but having started the campaign in a similar fashion, this weekend's contest is likely to end all square.
Neither team have scored many goals in recent weeks, which is why this match could be a low-scoring draw, but both sides are expected to concede also.
