Preview & Prediction: New York City FC vs New England Revolution FC

In recent years, the Revs and NYCFC have developed a rivalry, fueled in large part by a playoff match in 2021. On that occasion, NYCFC defeated the record-setting Revs in a penalty shootout at Gillette Stadium to win the MLS Cup. Previous regular-season encounters have also been high-stakes, high-intensity games, with the sides splitting the series last year, with NYCFC winning 4-2 at Yankee Stadium and the Revs winning 3-0 at Foxborough.

Over the first month of the season, NYCFC has relied on home form, winning both games at Yankee Stadium while losing 0-2-1 on three away trips. They were shut out for the second time in the first five games of the season, losing 1-0 against Houston Dynamo FC on Saturday night. The Revs will want to maintain their perfect home record when they welcome NYCFC to Gillette Stadium, where they will play four of their five games in April.

This season, the Revs are off to one of the finest starts in club history, sitting atop the Eastern Conference rankings as one of just two clubs in the league – along with expansion team St. Louis CITY SC – to have four victories through five matchdays. While the Revolution’s first three wins this season were all shutouts, they went a different route this weekend at Audi Field, overturning a halftime deficit with second-half goals from Gustavo Bou and Noel Buck to defeat D.C. United 2-1.

Taking these factors into account, we predict that New England Revolution will emerge victorious in the upcoming match with a scoreline of 2-1.
