Why Bet on New England Revolution?
The New England Revolution have been a team of many ups and downs this season. They started poorly, then went on a good run, and now they’re back in a rough patch. With 25 points from six wins, seven draws, and 10 losses, they sit 11th in the Eastern Conference, eight points behind ninth-place New York Red Bulls.
Caleb Porter’s side is winless in their last eight matches, losing six of them. In their most recent game, they fell 2-1 to Orlando City and have earned just two of the last 18 possible points at home, in addition to being eliminated from the U.S. Open Cup. They are the second-worst home team in the league, only ahead of this weekend’s opponent.
Spanish playmaker Carles Gil is the team’s top scorer with eight goals and also leads in assists with four, but he needs more support in attack. Cameroonian striker Ignatius Ganago, who has managed just one goal and two assists in 15 starts, hasn’t played since May 31 due to injury.
Why Bet on Montréal?
CF Montréal’s season has been a disaster. With just 15 points, they sit at the bottom of the MLS standings after three wins, six draws, and 15 losses, making them the team with the fewest wins and the most defeats in the league.
They have the second-worst attack, having scored only 20 goals, and the second-worst defense, conceding 45 goals. They’re coming off a 2-0 home loss to Chicago Fire and have taken just one point from their last 12 available. They were also eliminated in the Canadian Championship quarterfinals by Forge FC.
Oddly enough, their away performances have been slightly better, earning nine of their 15 points on the road, with two wins, three draws, and eight losses. Those two wins came in the last five away matches, against NYCFC (0-1) and Houston Dynamo (1-3).
Despite the team’s poor run, German striker Prince-Osei Owusu has stood out. He has scored 10 goals and provided two assists, directly contributing to over 50% of the team’s goals.
Among Marco Donadel’s injured players are Jalen Neal and Caden Clark. Defender George Campbell was transferred to West Bromwich Albion for around $2.5 million, and his potential replacement, Efraín Morales from Atlanta United, has yet to be officially confirmed.
Final Betting Analysis: New England Revolution vs. Montréal
These are two teams in terrible form and desperate for a win if they want to stay in the MLS playoff race. The only real argument in favor of the Revolution is that they’re playing at home, and Montréal has been even worse, which is why we believe New England will come away with the victory.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange favor the New England Revolution, with a Moneyline of -120, while Montréal sits at +336, and a draw is at +275.
The last time they met was on May 31 of this year, with New England winning 3-0 on the road thanks to a brace from Ilay Feingold and a goal from Peyton Miller. The Revolution are unbeaten in their last three meetings against this opponent, drawing once at home and winning the other two away, scoring eight goals on the road without conceding any.
Go for a win for New England. If you bet $100 at -120, you will gain $83 for a total payout of $183.
