New England Revolution vs Real Salt Lake Predictions

New England played out a 3-3 draw in their last game away at Orlando City but have now gone three games without a win, while Real Salt Lake lost 3-1 at Minnesota United last time out and have struggled away from home of late.

All of the stats suggest that we will be in for a goals-filled game on Sunday and we’ve backed both teams to score and over 2.5 goals with New England to pinch all three points 2-1.

New England don’t have the best of records against Real Salt Lake but have managed to win their last two home games against Sunday’s guests. Both teams scored in three of the pairs’ last five encounters and over 2.5 goals have been produced in five of their last seven meetings, which is why we have backed New England to win 2-1 this weekend.

The form of both clubs suggests that the hosts are in with a good chance of picking up all three points, as New England have only lost one of their last six matches, and are unbeaten in their last two home games, while Real Salt Lake have lost three of their last five matches, including their last two away games.

The performances of both teams over the last month or so points towards both teams scoring and at least three goals being produced on Sunday, as four of New England’s last six matches have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals as did Real Salt Lake’s last match which ended in a 3-1 defeat. New England have scored at least two goals in four of their last six matches and Real Salt Lake have only failed to score in two of their last six matches, adding more weight to our prediction of a 2-1 win for the hosts this weekend.

We’re confident that both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced on Sunday and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of New England. The hosts have proved a tough nut to crack in recent weeks but need to add more wins to their game, while their guests have struggled in their last two away games, slipping to defeats against Minnesota United and Portland Timbers. New England have won their last two home games against Real Salt Lake and we’re expecting another three points to collected by the hosts this weekend.
