New England Revolution vs Colorado Rapids Predictions

Hosts can claim narrow win

The New England Revolution should be backed to secure victory at home to Colorado Rapids. The visitors have lost four times in their last five MLS away games and New England can take advantage.

The hosts have more points in the regular season, but only just. Colorado Rapids have 25 points from their 19 games, with New England Revolution on 23 points from 17 matches.

New England Revolution have the best defence in the league, having conceded just 18 goals in 17 games.

Meanwhile, the visitors are in a rut. Colorado Rapids have lost their last three MLS away games and have failed to win any of their last five on the road.

They have been disappointing in front of goal away from home this season, scoring just seven goals in eight games – an average of 0.88 goals a game on the road.

The visitors have looked vulnerable in defence, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six MLS away games. Colorado Rapids have also shipped goals in three of their last four matches overall.

A narrow 1-0 win for New England Revolution looks like a decent correct-score choice. There have been under 2.5 goals in Colorado Rapids’ last three MLS games and New England have won three of the last four clashes with Colorado by a single goal.
