FC Cincinnati vs. New England Revolution picks and predictions
Prediction
FC Cincinnati 1, New England Revolution 1
Moneyline (ML)
SPRINKLE DRAW (+260).
FC Cincinnati will be without F Brandon Vazquez, who scored the equalizing goal against Jamaica for the USMNT, and key D Matt Miazga. Both of those players have been pivotal for FCC’s success.
Despite its success at home, FCC has struggled on the road, and it will be facing a surging Revolution side that was the best team in the Eastern Conference in 2021.
New England has had more expected goals than its opponent in 3 of its last 6 road matches this season as well. Considering its recent success and recent surge, take a DRAW(+260).
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (+105).
The Revolution have tightened up their play defensively lately, allowing just 3 goals in their last 4 matches. They allow just 1.21 goals per game. FCC, on the other hand, won’t have a key scorer and has among the best defenses in the MLS, allowing multiple goals in just 4 games this season. It has allowed multiple goals just once at home this season.
Both FCC and New England rank in the top 3 in save percentage, so the keepers have been strong this season. Both teams also rank in the bottom half of the league in goals allowed. Considering the strong defenses, take UNDER 2.5 (+100).
