New England v Orlando City

New England Revolution vs Orlando City Preview

New England Revolution slipped to a second defeat in three games in the MLS when they were handed a 2-0 loss away from home at Seattle Sounders in last weekend's MLS action which has left the hosts sitting fourth from bottom in the Eastern Conference table, while Orlando City moved up into seventh place and into the top seven pack courtesy of handing out a 5-0 thrashing over lowly DC United at their Inter&Co Stadium.

New England had previously been thumped 5-1 at home to Columbus Crew but in between these two recent defeats, the hosts recorded a 2-1 home win against Atlanta United and as you can see, goals have also never been very far away when New England Revolution take to the field!

Caleb Porter's side have picked up five wins within their last seven games though which makes the hosts a potentially tough prospect for visitors Orlando City as New England have recorded recent wins against Nashville, New York RB, Vancouver Whitecaps, Cincinnati and Atlanta United respectively.

However, New England tend to deal in either wins or losses and five of their last 10 games have also resulted in defeat, while seven of New England's last 10 games overall in the MLS have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Orlando City boosted their prospects of securing a top seven finish and therefore a place in the Finals Series in the Eastern Conference by inflicting a landslide 5-0 victory over poor DC United last weekend which followed a previous 2-1 win on the road in Canada against Toronto.

The visitors have collected three wins in their last four games overall which includes a 4-2 home win against Chicago Fire but the wider picture shows that Orlando City have managed to capture just these three wins out of their last nine games overall in the MLS which also includes slipping to four defeats in the process as well.

Losses to the likes of Columbus Crew, New York RB, Los Angeles and New York City have prevented Orlando City from further consolidating their top seven spot but it should also be noted that all four of these opposing clubs currently occupy places in the top five of the Eastern and Western Conference tables.

Results away from home also give Orlando City a decent chance of producing a positive display here at the Gillette Stadium as Oscar Pareja's side have been handed just two defeats in their previous nine outings on the road along with picking up four wins along the way.
