In front of their home crowd, the New England Revolution wants to put behind its dismal start to the season. However, they will face FC Cincinnati, a team that should compete for the top positions as last season.
The Revolution comes off a 4-1 loss to Atlanta United and is confirmed as the worst team in MLS, so far.
The Orange & Blue wasted a chance at home and drew 0-0 against DC United, so they have five points after three games.

Why Bet on the New England Revolution?
New England Revolution is far from having started on the right foot in the 2024 MLS season, as they have not proven to be at the level of their rivals, and, worst of all, they are conceding many goals. The bottom line for New England is that they have lost every game they have played, allowed eight goals, and scored only two, both from Spaniard Gil.
Their last match was a catastrophe, losing 4-1 to Atlanta United as visitors. Carles Gil’s goal could not hide the thrashing resulting from Georgios Giakoumakis’ hat-trick and a goal by Argentine Thiago Almada.
It is a critical situation, but fortunately, there is still a way to recover sensations, in addition to the fact that this team has shown a more than outstanding performance in the Concacaf Champions Cup. That will be the mission of coach Caleb Porter, who needs to squeeze and get a better performance from players such as Argentinean Tomás Chancalay.
Currently, Dylan Borrero, Brandon Bye, and Peyton Miller are out due to injury, while Carles Gil, Henry Kessler, and Bobby Wood are doubts.
Why Bet on FC Cincinnati?
FC Cincinnati is an attractive club that will surely be able to aspire high in the MLS, but so far, their start has not been the best. They have two draws and one win, but curiously, those three points came away from home when they beat Chicago Fire 1-2. At home, this team has not been able to show the strength that its players can provide.
In the last matchday, they were held 0-0 at home by DC United, so they are in seventh position with five points.
Another particular fact is that their matches are low-scoring. In three games, they have only scored two goals for and one against (all in the same encounter), so they could bring that defensive fierceness against an opponent that also finds it hard to score. The two goals have come from Aaron Boupendza and Miles Robinson.
Due to a hand injury, the loss for this squad is the 33-year-old veteran goalkeeper Alec Kann.
Final Betting Analysis: New England Revolution vs. FC Cincinnati
The last meeting between these teams was last year and ended in a 2-2 draw at Cincinnati’s home, while in New England it was 1-1. They have drawn in the last three games they have played, and in the whole history, the Revolution only lost once, which interestingly was the first time they played in 2019. After that came five straight wins and then the last three draws.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have New England Revolution as the favorite. The Moneyline for them shows 2.26, while FC Cincinnati has 2.971, and the draw is at 3.66.
FC Cincinnati is one of the teams to follow in MLS for what they did last season and for their aspirations in this one, that’s why they will take the victory against a poor team like the New England Revolution by 0-1.
Go for a win for FC Cincinnati. If you bet $100 at 2.971, you will gain $197 for a total payout of $297.
