THE PREDICTION

A 1-0 win over DC United last weekend continued New England Revolution’s reasonable start to the season. They fell to a two-goal deficit in just 11 minutes of the new season against Chicago Fire before getting back to a 2-2 draw after just 27 minutes. So, their first-half hour of the season consisted four goals whilst the next 150 minutes has totalled one; that is probably more reflective of their style of play and intentions. They come up against an Atlanta United side that were hammered at home by Philadelphia Union in the CONCACAF Champions League quarter-final in midweek. They have played five matches in all competitions this season and only scored five goals with three having come in their 3-1 win over Chicago last weekend. Given that low-scoring propensity and reversion to a dullness for the Revs; under 2.5 goals would seem a solid bet.
