New England Revolution vs. Atlanta United

Both Atlanta United and the New England Revolution want to get rid of their current depressing situation. New England Revolution lost to Atlanta United 4-1 in their last encounter, serving as payback for the 2-1 win they had in the match before that. Atlanta United is currently number nine in the Eastern Conference and faces a tough prospect when traveling to an in-form New England Revolution.

New England Revolution are relatively average in goal-scoring, scoring 12 goals in their previous ten matches for an average of 1.2 per game. They have allowed their opponents 17 goals, or an average of 1.7 a game, and have fought their way to two clean sheets in this run. Atlanta United are currently decent goalscorers, managing 13 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.3 goals a game. Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, and we expect an entertaining match once again.

Performance and Strategy Insights

The New England Revolution has won the last four matches in a row, conceded in 12 of the last 14 home matches, and won the last four matches in a row. Atlanta United has not won 13 of the last 15 away matches, conceded in 14 of the last 16 away matches, and conceded in eight of the last 10 away matches. The last ten encounters have seen both teams equally paired, with New England Revolution winning four and Atlanta United taking four wins. Under 2.5 goals have been a winning bet only three times in ten matches, with over 2.5 goals best priced at odds of 7/10. Both teams are looking for their main strikers this season.

Youth Integration and Player Development

The New England Revolution needs to reconsider its early season objectives, and getting plenty of youth minutes seems like an achievable criteria. The team’s recent four-game winning streak might have bolstered some hope that the team’s dismal start to the season can be salvaged. To go the rest of the way, though, the Revs need have specific objectives. For example, they should aim to play meaningful minutes to both Noel Buck and Esmir Bajraktarevic in the coming months. Jack Panayotou should also get over 1,000 minutes in all competitions this year, as he should be getting better playing time than the final 20 minutes of a 5-1 blowout loss to Columbus. Starting Jack P at the number 10, putting Esmir and Buck next to him, and allowing them to have fun is essential.

Atlanta United Strategy

Atlanta United, a team with a poor season, is currently on a midseason selling spree and is nearing the playoff line. The team’s struggles have been attributed to a tame offense, a lack of consistent goals, and a fragile mentality. The team has already sold Giorgos Giakoumakis and Thiago Almada, and their mentality has been fragile at times.

The front office seems to be trying to salvage something out of this season, with Garth Lagerwey pointing out Seattle’s success after Sigi Schmid was shown the door. Rob Valentino has managed to get some success out of the team, even without Giakoumakis and several players being out due to continental tournaments. Atlanta only needs to lay claim to one of the nine spots in the East and get hot to secure a spot in the playoffs. The team’s decision to sell players for a lot of money could set up a big winter offseason for 2025.
