MLS Preview: Minnesota United vs. New England Revolution Prediction, Odds, and Picks (Sep 9)

• Minnesota United is one of the worst teams in the MLS when home stats are concerned.
• New England Revolution is doing great even with its head coach out with a suspension.

The New England Revolution is doing very well, especially knowing that this team has had some really big problems in the last couple of weeks. They’re sitting in the No. 2 position in the Eastern Conference, but the question is how long will they stay there unless they keep on winning. So, can they win on Saturday when they’re traveling to Saint Paul to take on Minnesota United?

Game Preview

The coach of the New England Revolution Bruce Arena got suspended indefinitely a few weeks ago. Around the same time, the Revs’ starting goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic decided to move to Chelsea. Nevertheless, despite all that, New England has done surprisingly well.

This team’s fans are hopeful the Revs can do even better in the remainder of the season. One of the things that’s feeding them with confidence is that the former Sevilla, Olympiacos, and Huddersfield goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik is going to make his debut very soon. In fact, we could see him play his first MLS game this coming weekend.

New England has their Djordje Petrovic replacement, officially signing Czech Republic int'l GK Tomas Vaclik.

With him between the posts, the Revs should be able to do well defensively. They should be able to resist Minnesota’s attacks as this team isn’t too dangerous offensively. This goes especially when it comes to the games played at Allianz Field in Saint Paul.

Actually, Minnesota United is one of the worst home teams in the 2023 MLS, with a 3-7-2 record. On the bright side for their fans, two of those three wins happened during the summer.

When it comes to the Revolution’s record on the road, it’s 3-4-5, which isn’t too impressive. What’s even worse is that the guys from Massachusetts haven’t won an away game since early May.
