Prediction: 2-0
DC United
Sunday’s football match at Gillette Stadium pits together New England and DC United. New England are undefeated in previous five league fixtures and it has to be noted that they failed to keep a clean sheet in last eight league games. The Revs will not have a better chance than this to start a new winning run in MLS as they play host to DC United at their Gillette Stadium. The capital club, on the other hand, were not into action at the weekend, but we should mention that they did well to hold defending champions Toronto to a 4-4 draw at BMO Field in their last league match. Anyhow, considering that New England are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the Revs are going to pick up all three points from Sunday’s clash. In their last meeting in Massachusetts New England recorded a 2-1 win over DC United.
