Our prediction for this MLS match:
New England Revolution will be eager to bounce back from their massive 3-0 defeat to Orlando City when they host CF Montreal at Gillette Stadium. The Revs have struggled away from home, but they consistently perform much better on their own turf. Despite the absences of Brandon Bye, Christian Makoun, and Tomas Chancalay through injury, they still have the quality to grab a victory.
Montreal, meanwhile, head into the game following a 4-1 loss to Cincinnati in their last away match. While Joel Waterman returns from suspension, their inconsistent form on the road remains a concern. Montreal have found it difficult to keep clean sheets away from home, which could play into New England’s hands. Given New England’s strong home record and Montreal's struggles on the road, the hosts are expected to pick up all three points from the midweek clash. Taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on the home side.
Highlighted Team (New England Revolution):
Unlike famous NFL club New England Patriots, the Revolution have yet to win the domestic trophy. New England participated five times in the MLS Cup final, but they were more than fortunate not to lift the silverware. The Revs played their last final in 2014, with the team losing to LA Galaxy in the title game at StubHub Center. New England Revolution, though, clinched the North American SuperLiga trophy in 2008 and that is considered as the club’s biggest success.
It has to be noted that the Revs defeated Houston Dynamo on penalties in the final of the tournament. New England Revolution were founded in 1994 and Gillette Stadium is the home ground of the club. Legendary defender Alexi Lalas played for the Revolution (1996-1997) and he scored three goals for the Gillette Stadium outfit. Fellow USA ace Clint Dempsey was part of the team as well and you should know that he netted 25 goals in 71 league appearances for the club.
