Competition: MLS

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/13 @ Bet 365

Looking to close the gap at the top of the Eastern Conference, DC United will host a resurgent New England Revolution in the early hours of Saturday.

Starting with the hosts, while DC United have begun to struggle with their consistency of late, they still remain in the hunt to clinch the Eastern Conference outright this year. In their 20 MLS matches this season, they have recorded eight wins, seven draws and five defeats, scoring 25 and conceding 21 in return. With a points tally of 31, United currently sit five points adrift of top spot. However, as for their recent run of results, DC have managed to record just one win within 90 minutes in their last 11 matches across all competitions and it is also worth noting that Saturday’s hosts have recorded just a single clean sheet in any of those 11 appearances.

As for the visitors, continuing on what has been a very impressive resurge, New England have their sights now firmly set on securing a play-off spot this season. In their 19 MLS matches this season, they have recorded six wins, five draws and eight defeats, scoring 22 and conceding 36 in return. While only their goal difference keeps them out of the top seven, the Revolution do hold the second worst defensive record in the Eastern Conference. As for their recent run of results, New England are enjoying a seven-match unbeaten run in America’s top-tier. On paper, this has all the makings of a matchup that should prove to be a lively encounter.
