New England Revolution vs FC Cincinnati Prediction: It won't be straightforward.

New England Revolution and FC Cincinnati go head-to-head in game 4 of the new season. The match will be played at New England’s stadium, Gillette Stadium at 21:00 GMT.

New England Revolution are currently at the bottom of the Eastern Conference table with 0 points, while FC Cincinnati are in 7th place on the table with 5 points. 

New England Revolution

Time is running out for the New England Revolution to get their first win. So far after 3 games, they are yet to pick up a point as all 3 games ended in a defeat. However the team seemed to be doing very well in the CONCACAF Champions League.

In their last league game, they played against Atlanta United and they lost by a 4-1 scoreline. Atlanta United had their 4th goal by the 74th minute before Carles Gil scored the only goal for the New England Revolution in the 83rd minute. However their stats weren't equally as horrible in that game. They had 56% possession, 5 shots on target and 3 corner kicks.

The New England Revolution are in a dire position and they need a response as quickly as possible. Caleb Porter is expected to make significant changes to the team lineup ahead of the coming game. He deployed the 4-3-3 in the game against Atlanta United, but it's certain, he will want to try other ideas.

FC Cincinnati

FC Cincinnati head into this game as huge favorites to win because they are in better form at the moment. They've had a positive start to the campaign, with 1 win and 2 draws in their opening 3 games. 

In their last league game, they played a 0-0 draw with DC United. It was a tough game but FC Cincinnati were wasteful with scoring opportunities. According to the stats of the game they had 58% possession, 7 shots on target and 5 corner kicks. They also had 4 big chances during the game and they missed them all. 

The FC Cincinnati manager watched his team lose vital scoring opportunities in the game against DC United and he will be working hard to correct that in the upcoming game. He deployed a 3-4-1-2 formation in the DC United game and the team had better control over the game. So he is most likely going to retain that system for the game against the New England Revolution.
