The Revs have the edge at Gillette Stadium
New England Revolution have the home advantage on Sunday when they take on New York City FC at Gillette Stadium in the United States, where the hosts have won eight, drawn one, and lost just two of their 11 MLS 2026 matches, scoring 21 goals in the process.
The game should be about whether the hosts can use their compact system to control the middle third and spring fast breaks on the counter-attack, which was a factor in the MLS 2025 head-to-head.
The visitors come into this game in mixed form following a 2-0 victory at Santos Laguna in the Leagues Cup, which was then followed by losses to Cruz Azul and Necaxa in the CONCACAF Leagues Cup 2026/2027, two matches that have left the Boys in Blue licking their wounds.
An NYCFC edge?
Pascal Jansen has done a great job at NYCFC since his appointment as head coach on 6 January 2025, implementing a high-intensity press with plenty of fluidity in the attacking third that keeps the ball away from their own goal and keeps them on the front foot.
Carles Gil is the spark for New England Revolution with seven MLS 2026 goals, the most of any player on the club's roster, but it's Nicolas Fernandez who is NYCFC's danger man with 13 goals, giving the visitors the sharper end of the stick.
NYCFC are favoured at 7/5 for Sunday's game, ahead of New England Revolution at 17/10 and the draw at 51/20, and we're taking the away side with a little bit of a favour. The draw is a distinct possibility in what could be a cagey battle, however, and that's reflected in the correct score prediction.
Both teams to score at 57/100 should also fit the bill for this clash between two attacking-minded outfits, while Over 2.5 goals at 7/10 looks good for what should be a lively matchup.
