New England v St Louis City

New England Revolution vs St Louis City Preview

New England Revolution will be relieved to be returning to the more familiar surroundings of their Gillette Stadium for this upcoming clash against St Louis City after falling to a 2-0 defeat on the road at Real Salt Lake last time out, while St Louis City picked up all three points with a 2-1 home win against LA Galaxy so the visitors will be in confident mood.

New England Revolution currently sit third from bottom in the Eastern Conference ladder in 13th place but the hosts are only five points adrift of ninth placed Atlanta United and a possible play-off spot prior to these upcoming fixtures in the MLS, so Caleb Porter's side will have plenty of incentive to take the spoils in this encounter.

However, grabbing all three points here in this upcoming tussle may be easier said than done as New England have managed to record just one win from their last six matches overall in the MLS which came in the form of a comprehensive 5-0 victory on the road against Montreal, but also includes being dealt four defeats within this period as well.

The goals market appeals though as seven of New England's last 10 matches have resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored.

St Louis City occupy a lowly second from bottom position in the Western Conference ladder and the visitors now find themselves some nine points adrift of ninth placed Minnesota United ahead of this upcoming encounter against hosts, New England Revolution.

There are seven games remaining of the MLS regular season though so St Louis City will also be incentivised to go all out for the three points at the Gillette Stadium although the visitors have also found wins hard to come by in recent weeks as well.

Indeed, St Louis City have managed to capture just two wins within their previous 16 matches overall which came in the shape of rare victories gained over the likes of San Jose Earthquakes and LA Galaxy respectively, but also includes being handed no fewer than nine defeats within this period too.

Therefore, the prospects of an away win here do seem slim but the goals market also appeals from St Louis City's perspective as well, as six of their last 10 matches overall have also produced three goals or more.

New England Revolution v St Louis City Verdict

Both New England Revolution and St Louis City will be keen to further improve their chances of making the finals play-off spots and this should make for an entertaining and open game here at Gillette Stadium with both sides pressing forward in order to claim the all-important three points and boost their chances of a play-off spot.
