Prediction

New England 3, DC United 1

Moneyline (ML)

NEW ENGLAND (+110) took care of Montreal 1-0 in the opening match, while DC United (+225) and Toronto FC played to a 2-2 draw in their opener. DC is a bit nicked up, missing some key contributors. That’s not good against a Revs side that is nearly whole. While United has posted a 2-1-2 mark in the previous five head-to-head meetings, you can expect the Revs to return the favor in this one.

A winning $10 wager on New England (+110) fetches a net profit of $11.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-150) is worth a small-unit play, as DC’s defense was a bit shaky in its 2-2 draw in the opening match. Look for New England to take advantage, and potentially take care of the Over all by itself.

Prediction

Montreal 2, New England 2

Moneyline (ML)

Montreal (+250) edged New England (+100) by a 2-1 count Feb. 29 before the pause button was pressed due to the COVID-19 global pandemic situation. Now, they’ll square off in the bubble in Orlando. The difference here is that the Revolution will have a full cadre of DPs with F Gustavo Bou, F Adam Buksa and MF Carles Gil available for the first time. That will tip the scales more in their favor in a match which should see plenty of action. TIE (+275) IS THE BEST BET. Also, if this match were to end up 2-2, betting that for the “Correct Score” returns a healthy +1150.

A winning $10 wager on Montreal and New England settling for a draw nets a profit of $27.50. A $10 wager on the Correct Score ending up 2-2 nets a profit of $111.50 – basically, every $1 wager that wins will profit $11.50.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 3.5 (+150) could be quite the value here. The Impact were averaging 2.0 goals per match before the pause, while allowing 1.5 goals per match. The Revs netted two total goals while also allowing 1.5 goals per match. While I expect some clubs to start slow in the bubble, these sides are relatively healthy and could get off to a quick start. Over 2.5 (-162) is a safer play, and will cost you a lot more juice, but should be a slam-dunk play as well.
