FC Cincinnati vs. New England Revolution odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s FC Cincinnati vs. New England Revolution odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati (6 wins, 5 losses, 1 draw) welcomes the New England Revolution (3-5-3) to TQL Stadium. Kickoff Saturday is set for 6 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the FC Cincinnati vs. New England odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

The Revolution have been a shadow of the team that consistently took the pitch last season. Without GK Matt Turner and F Tajon Buchanan, the Revolution sit in 11th place on the Eastern Conference table.

F Adam Buksa who has 6 goals and 2 assists leads the team in scoring and helps captain the offensive output with M Carles Gil, who has 3 goals and 5 assists. New England has scored 18 and allowed 20 in 11 matches.

FC Cincinnati has soared up the table with 4 straight wins and is just 1 of 2 playoff teams with a negative goal differential. They have a similar tandem in F Brandon Vazquez and M Luciano Acosta, the first of which has 8 goals and assists and the latter of which has 6.

FCC has never had a 3-game winning streak in club history, so they’re playing quality soccer right now. They’ve scored 16 and allowed 18 in 12 matches.

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 2, New England Revolution 2

Money line (ML)

LEAN DRAW +260.

FC Cincinnati has been on fire, but that flame will eventually be quenched. The Revolution haven’t gotten many results this season, but they have drawn two straight matches 2-2.

New England has drawn 2 of its 5 road games. FCC has yet to draw at home, but they have actually been far worse at TQL than on the road, posting just a 2-3-0 record.

In 2 of FCC’s 4 recent wins, they’ve either tied or had fewer expected goals than their opponent. They’re a solid side, but this streak will come to an end soon.

A draw, at +260, gives good value considering how each team has played this season.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN ALTERNATE OVER 3.5 (+145).

FC Cincinnati hasn’t necessarily won at home, but they’ve been a scoring machine, also giving up a large number of goals on their home field.

In 5 home games, FCC has scored 9 goals and allowed 8, which includes a 1-0 loss to D.C. United to start the season. They’ve gone over 3.5 goals in 2 of 5 home games.

FCC also has the league’s leader, Acosta, in total attacking assists. As for New England, it has gone over this total in 2 straight and in 4 of its last 6. Gil is tied for the second-most assists in the MLS.

This should be a high-paced game against 2 sides that have had relatively disappointing defenses so far this season. Expect a plethora of goals, which is why the alternate Over is my favorite play.

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.
