My Prediction
New York Red Bulls by 2Alright then, let's dive right into this Major League Soccer matchup between the New York Red Bulls and the New England Revolution. Now, if we’re talking net-minders here, the Red Bulls have Carlos Coronel tending the twine with a middling 6.85 rating and 11 saves this season. The Revolution counters with Aljaž Ivačič, boasting a plush 7.30 rating and 3 saves, and good old Henrich Ravas carrying a 6.67 rating with solid 13 saves. It's safe to say the Revolution have a slight edge here if we’re into comparing apples and oranges.
Skating over to the field players, the Red Bulls are powered by Emil Forsberg (a dazzling 7.42 rating, 2 goals and 84.1% accurate passing) and Peter Stroud, expressing his commitment to no-goal policy but showing an 84.8% accurate pass rating which is no joke. Let's throw Lewis Morgan into the mix with his 7.23 rating, 1 goal, and flaunting 7 shots on goal.
On the other side of the field, the Revolution are led by Carles Gil (7.62 rating and 83.9% accurate passing), Mark-Anthony Kaye (7.13 rating, maintaining his celibacy in goal-scoring with 78.9% accurate passing), and Tomás Chancalay (7.0 rating, scoring 2 goals, and displaying a somewhat disappointing 76.5% accurate passing). No eye-popping numbers here, but you know how it is.
Looking at the match history between these two, they each grabbed a win from the jaws of each other last season, so no clear indications there. But when looking at the rolodex of regular season records, the Red Bulls show a dominant 5-3-1, while the Revolution are quite shockingly trailing with a 1-1-6.
Recent results show the Red Bulls suffering a disastrous loss against Inter Miami CF, quite the opposite of Revolution's narrow win against the Chicago Fire. Now, where does that take us? In terms of players-to-watch, it might be a toss-up, but looking at the bigger picture here, my money's with the team that knows how to win.
