Prediction: 2-1
New England Revolution
DC United will look to put an end to their three-game losing run in pre-season when they take on New England Revolution in the season opener. The capital club were struggling at the back in the warm-up games, but the bookies still see them as favourites to win Sunday’s encounter. Christian Benteke is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts, while new signings Matti Peltola, Gabriel Pirani, and Conner Antley should play some part in the opening match of the season as well.
The Revs, on the other hand, are not regarded as good travellers and even though the likes of Henrich Ravas, Nick Lima, and Jonathan Mensah have joined the squad, we are tempted to put our money on DC United. Both Colombia forward Dylan Borrero and defender Brandon Bye are injured for the visiting side. Gabriel Sigal was traded to Houston Dynamo last week.
