DC United vs New England Revolution — Tips & Analysis

New England Revolution +0.5: DC United do not win football games. They have won 4, tied 10 and lost 5 of their last 19, and four of the last five ended level. That habit is the base of this pick. Their attack never runs away with anything either. DC have won by 2 or more goals in only 1 of their last 19 games. At Audi Field they let in more than 2 goals a game, so visitors always get chances. New England have won 8, tied 4 and lost 6 of their last 18, and they own this meeting. DC have lost 12 of the last 20 games between the two. Both teams have had 4 days since their last game, so neither has tired legs as an excuse. A 1-1 tie looks the most likely finish, and that is enough for this pick. The worry is New England on the road. They are 1W-2D-3L away this season and score just over a goal a game on their travels. Campana is out with a hamstring problem for three to four weeks, and Langoni is out too, so their two most direct attackers are missing. That leaves them relying on a DC side that cannot punish anybody. We are happy taking New England with a head start.
