To the legendary Foxborough city and Massachusetts we go for the 3rd round of Major League Soccer. The local club New England Revolution will try to make a restart for the season against the overall league leaders Philadelphia Union no less. At first glance, this looks like an easy task for the visitors. However, there is a reason that a slight advantage is awarded to the home side.
1 vs 23 and 6 vs 1
In a nutshell this is the outcome of the first two rounds. Union have the first seat of the table at 6 points with two wins, and an 8-3 goals for and against. Revolution are 23rd with only 1 point out of a draw and a loss, not having scored a single goal yet and conceded one. So, we have one side that have scored 4 at each of their previous games and a side that does not concede easily.
Looking at the history, last season Philadelphia demolished New England by 5-1 at home and 0-3 away. The last win for the hosts dates back to 2023 by 2-1. Therefore, to us, it makes no sense that there are odds of @2.58 in favor for a win for the home team and @2.67 for the visitors. However, this is good for the bettors as they can choose any of the two and make a killing. Even more so, if the choice is a draw which begets @3.49!
Philadelphia all the way
Looking at the previous opponents, we have Cincinnati and Orlando for Union and Columbus and Nashville for Revolution. The last one is amongst the 4 teams that have yet to win a match counting 2 losses each. Surprisingly, another one of these 4 is LA Galaxy… Seriously, we cannot even award the home field advantage to New England.
Our choice for this one goes for a win of Philadelphia Union and this is what we will recommend to anyone who will open a Game2bet account and make an investment on this match. Honestly, we cannot see any other result. In fact, the exact same @2.67 is the price for over 3.5 goals which is a quite probable outcome. Nevertheless, we prefer the more conservative option on this one.
