We are entering the 18th matchday of the MLS Season, and we will have less action than usual, as only four matches will be held on Saturday. However, these games could still have great implications on the table. Precisely, the New York Red Bulls, who want to cut distances with the top two, will visit a New England Revolution in the doldrums.
The favorites have plenty at stake, but this could also be the chance for the underdogs to impress everyone and begin their recovery.

Why Bet on the New England Revolution?
The match opening up the weekend will be hosted by New England Revolution. The team sits at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, having won three games, drawn one, and lost ten.
The Goals from Carles Gil and Esmir Bajraktarević and a penalty save from Aljaž Ivačič lifted the Revs to three massive road points with a 2-1 win this past weekend in Nashville. That snapped their three-game losing streak and gave them a bit of positive momentum heading into back-to-back home games.
The team’s current objective will be to build on that result as the Revs aim to make it consecutive wins for the first time this season in the MLS.
Why Bet on the NY Red Bulls?
The Eastern Conference’s 4th-placed NY Red Bulls will be the visitors for this clash. With eight wins, five draws, and three losses, they are currently head to head with New York City FC on the board with the same number of games, and, with two games less than Inter Miami, they could match the league leaders.
The Red Bulls come to Foxborough riding a bit of a hot streak, winning four of their last five games (4-1-0), giving them the chance to challenge for the top again if they are successful.
They’ve been particularly good at home, going unbeaten in seven games at Red Bull Arena. However, they have been somewhat susceptible on the road, going 3-3-3 on their travels, which makes this clash interesting.
Final Betting Analysis: New England Revolution vs. NY Red Bulls
These two traditional franchises have faced 76 times since 2003, with a great dominance by New England with 34 wins over 22 for NY. However, things have changed recently, with the Red Bulls winning in four of the last five meetings.
This will be the second meeting between these sides in less than a month, as the New Yorkers claimed a 4-2 win over the Revs at Red Bull Arena on May 11.
Last season, the hosts defeated the Red Bulls 1-0 at Gillette Stadium, but this time, we think it’s going to be the other way around. It’s just that the visitors are in much better shape than the hosts, and we expect them to repeat the feat from their most recent clash. We’ll go for a 1-3.
Go for a victory for the visitors at 2.14. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $114 for a total payout of $214.
