Prediction
New England Revolution 2, FC Cincinnati 0
Money line (ML)
The New England Revolution (-260) should be able to win this one, but there is no value risking more than two-and-a-half times your potential return. Instead, NEW ENGLAND -1 (+100) is a much more attractive play on the 3-way line.
Over/Under (O/U)
The play is UNDER 2.5 (+135) is a strong value in Foxboro, Mass., Saturday night.
FC Cincinnati’s modus operandi is to slow down play and bore the other side to death with suffocating defense. It works – playing to three scoreless draws in the past four.
However, it won’t work against the first-place Revs. New England will get it done on its home pitch, and it won’t be distracted by the approaching Tropical Storm Henri, which has been the talk of the region.
