In what seems like a weekly occurrence, the New England Revolution play in a massive Eastern Conference six-pointer, hosting Toronto FC with serious playoff implications on the line Saturday night.

The Revs (10-9-8) are in sixth place in the East, one point in front of Toronto FC, following a 2-1 win over the Chicago Fire in Foxborough Saturday night. After Francisco Calvo canceled out Wilfried Zahibo's early goal with an equalizer four minutes from halftime, Gustavo Bou scored the decisive goal in the 86h minute as the Revs extended an unbeaten streak to three games. New England have lost just once in the last 15 games.

Toronto FC (10-10-7) made it a Canadian Classique sweep, defeating the Montreal Impact, 2-1, at BMO Field Saturday night to move above the playoff line for the first time since May 6. After conceding the opening goal four minutes after the restart on Bojan Krkic's first MLS goal, Marky Delgado leveled in the 63rd minute and Justin Morrow scored the winner in the 81st minute as TFC have now taken points from six of their last eight games.

This is the second meeting this season with the Toronto FC winning, 3-2, March 17 at BMO Feld. Carles Gil struck for a brace for the Revs, but Jozy Altidore broke the stalemate with the 80th-minute winner.
