Atlanta Utd vs New England Revolution tips and predictions

Timing might be right for New England Revolution

Atlanta Utd are currently in fifth place as they get ready to host third place New England Revolution.

The big price against New England Revolution makes them the surprise package here. However, this prediction doesn't come with a huge amount of certainty.

The hosts are widely expected to win but they can be beaten. In defence Atlanta Utd's performances have shown some signs of confusion. They conceded three or more goals in 3 of their last 6 matches and if they have any selection issues they could be in trouble.

While not a widespread opinion there is surely some sense to go for an away win. The Midnight Riders have actually been victorious in 9 of their last 18 campaigns. Their best performances have been characterised by their confidence in the final third. They've scored at least once in 15 of their last 18 games. Their forwards will have to put in some display to have any decent chance here. Their recent defensive displays could be a key for them too. They have conceded no more than once in 15 of their last 19 matches.

Playing devil's advocate it might be surprise enough to see the visitors come away having battled to a deadlock. The sportsbooks are predicting goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Atlanta Utd. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks slightly more tempting this time around.

The results database shows that The Five Stripes have not won any of the last 4 games between these two sides.
