MLS: New York Red Bulls vs. New England Revolution Preview, Odds, Betting Tips, Predictions, Picks

New York Red Bulls and the New England Revolution should bring one interesting clash on Saturday night. These two conference rivals come from two big cities, who are rivals in all sports, and the same is when it comes to football/soccer. The Revs are higher placed in the standings, holding the third spot in the conference, while the Bulls are in the lower part of the standings, near the play-in zone. 

Preview

New York Red Bulls (-110) are inconsistent a lot. They have had four wins, four losses, and two draws in the previous ten games, irritating the fans with such unpredictable behavior. Though the time has come when this team needs to step up and start delivering regularly; otherwise, the playoffs will remain just a dream.

The direct place in the playoffs is too far away, but the Bulls can hope to reach the play-in. Yet, their game and their results have to be much better. They are coming off a loss in Columbus last weekend, 2-1, which followed a tie and a win posted previously.

Lately, the NYRB’s contests at home are efficient, and previous five all ended with at least three goals. That’s the only constant thing in their performances at the Red Bull Arena in Harrison. 

New England Revolution (+320) comes in as an underdog in this clash, despite being better placed. They are without a defeat in the past seven meetings but had won in only three of them, all at home. 

The Revolution plays engaging football, with plenty of goals on both ends, and eight of the latest nine of their appearances have seen three or more hits. In seven of those nine encounters, both teams managed to hit the back of the net. 

What might be a problem for the visiting side is their poor record on the road, and the current five-game winless streak, during which they had two losses and three ties. The efficiency of those games is high, but the results aren’t favorable for the Revs. 

Latest News

The Bulls are without Serge Ngoma, Lewis Morgan, and Steven Sserwadda, who are injured. Cory Burke and John Tolkin are away due to international duties, while Dante Vanzeir and Dylan Nealis stand as questionable. 

On the other side, Bruce Arena can’t count on Dylan Borrero, Nacho Gil, Henry Kessler and Maciel. Tommy McNamara and Christian Makou are injured as well, while DeJuan Jones is with his national team.

Head to Head Games

This will be the season’s first meeting between the Bulls and the Revs. Last year, they met on two occasions, and the Bulls won both times, 0-1 in Foxborough and 2-1 at home in Harrison. 

Prediction

If the hosts were some other team than the Bulls, we would consider betting on their win, but the team from NY is way too unstable, and we want to avoid risking anything. Instead, we will take both teams netting. After analyzing the results of both of these clubs, this pick looks the most logical, given the fact it frequently appears in their result columns.
