Orlando City vs New England Revolution Predictions & Picks
Orlando City were handed a comfortable 4-0 loss at the hands of Charlotte in their last match meaning they will need to do something special to end their three-game winless run against a very strong New England Revolution.
- Orlando are winless in their last three (L1, D2)
- New England have won seven of their last 10 (L3)
Head To Head
In their last 10 meetings, Orlando have won six times, New England have won three times and one game has ended as a draw.
Orlando City Form
Orlando City were spared a nervous final weekend in the regular season as New York Red Bulls were consigned to a 3-2 loss at the hands of Nashville.
This defeat means the Red Bulls in 10th are four points behind Orlando in ninth, meaning the latter have claimed their place in the playoffs. However, keeping hold of ninth had nothing to do with Orlando themselves as they were humbled in a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Charlotte.
While away games in the MLS are rarely easy, Orlando's limp display against Charlotte will be a real worry heading into this one. The home side boast a good record on their own patch having won nine of their 16 outings, but they have failed to win any of their last three having lost once and drawn twice.
While City could finish as high as seventh, I predict that they will drop more points this weekend as their poor run continues.
New England Revolution Form
New England Revolution have been very impressive this season, with the side still in with a chance of finishing second in the Eastern Conference.
Their last outing was a disappointment as they were beaten at home by Inter Miami. Their 2-1 loss handed the initiative in the battle for second back to Miami, but all is not lost. If New England win their final game and Miami fail to take all three points, Revolution will finish second.
Across their last 10, New England have looked very good after winning seven times. They have also won four of their last five. With New England knowing how important a win could be, I am backing the travelling side to secure a stunning win.
Verdict
I am backing New England to take all three points as they hand Orlando City another defeat.
