NYCFC vs New England Revolution: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

NYCFC host New England Revolution at Citi Field on Wednesday, September 9 (8:00 PM ET / 7:00 PM CT / 5:00 PM PT).

NYCFC’s team news is light on absentees heading into this one, with Nicolás Mercau the shirt to watch after a season in which he’s fired fourteen goals from fifty-four shots, thirty-two of them on target, and added forty-two chances created. Axel Ojeda and Hannes Wolf give him support up top with five goals apiece, while Keaton Parks offers a passing outlet through midfield. New England Revolution head into the game with a similarly clean bill, leaning on Carles Gil, whose eight goals and sixty-two chances created make him the most creative outlet on the field, alongside Dor Turgeman’s six goals from fifty shots up front.

The reverse fixture finished 1-1 back on August 23, and neither side has kept a shutout in recent weeks: NYCFC shipped 3 in a loss to Philadelphia Union and 2 more away at Cincinnati, while New England conceded 3 in a game they still won at Columbus and lost 0-2 at home to Houston. That points to goals at both ends rather than a stalemate — expect Carles Gil or Dor Turgeman to get New England on the board, but Mercau’s edge in front of goal should nose it for NYCFC at home.

NYCFC vs New England Revolution Prediction

Squawka’s prediction: NYCFC 2-1 New England Revolution. Mercau’s goal threat, backed by Ojeda and Wolf, gives the seventh-placed hosts enough to see off a New England side sitting fourth in the East on thirty-seven points, though Carles Gil’s creativity should ensure the visitors have their say too.
