New England Revolution vs. Atlanta United picks and predictions
Prediction
New England Revolution 1, Atlanta United 1
Moneyline (ML)
SPRINKLE DRAW (+270).
Simply put, the Revolution, despite this recent hot streak, have still played at the level of competition their opponent is at. The Revs have drawn 4 of their last 8 matches. They have had fewer expected goals in 3 games as well, 1 of them being at home.
Atlanta United has won 3 of their last 5 and have drawn 5 of their last 9. Atlanta has drawn 5 of 11 road matches. Couple both teams having been prone to this result in this scenario and take DRAW (+270).
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (+125).
United’s offense has been on fire for spurts this season, but they haven’t performed that well as of late. United has averaged 1 goal per game over their last 3 and has had fewer than 1 expected goal in 3 of their last 4 matches. They have also had 3 clean sheets in their last 6 games and have held their opponent to 1.1 expected goals or fewer in 5 straight matches.
New England is a similar story. Despite having averaged 1.6 goals per game over its last 3, it has had fewer than 1.0 expected goals in 3 straight games. It has also allowed 1 or 0 goals in 4 of its last 6 games.
Both teams have a strong offense, but they haven’t played up to par as of late. For that reason, take the UNDER 2.5 (+125).
