New England vs D.C. United Prediction & Pick

New England has stayed toward the top of the Eastern Conference due to its elite attack as well as the stellar play of goalkeeper Dorde Petrovic. The Revolution rank fourth in goals scored (38) and second in save percentage (77.8%). Those are obviously two great areas to be thriving in on the pitch.

D.C. United ranks outside the top 20 in save percentage, which means its defenders are going to have to step up if the team wants any chance of earning a win. I don't see that happening here, especially since New England has emerged victorious in four of its last five matches against D.C. United.

New England is also 8-3-0 (W-D-L) at home this season, so back the Revolution with confidence.

Final Score Prediction: New England: 3 | D.C. United: 1
