New England Revolution vs New York Red Bulls Prediction
Both clubs have posted identical stats so far in the league, scoring seven goals and conceding six. The Revs, though, have played a game more than the visitors.
It should be a routine win for the hosts, who have recorded all three of their wins so far at home. The visiting side have struggled in their travels and are winless in their two away games so far.
We predict this encounter between the two East Coast rivals will end in a win for the in-form New England Revs.
Prediction: New England Revolution 2-0 New York Red Bulls
