New England Revolution vs Atlanta United Betting Preview – September 27, 2025
The New England Revolution return home Saturday night to face Atlanta United in a matchup of two clubs out of playoff contention but still battling to finish the season with pride. New England (8-15-8, 32 points) has gone winless in four straight and hasn’t celebrated a home win since August 9, while Atlanta (5-13-12, 27 points) is trying to avoid setting a franchise low for victories.
Interim head coach Pablo Moreira took over the Revs last week following Caleb Porter’s dismissal, and he insists the locker room remains committed. “They believe in themselves. They believe in us. They believe in what we’re trying to throw out there. We just want to do what’s best for the club,” Moreira said.
Atlanta has at least shown fight, unbeaten in its last two while creating heavy shot volume. But head coach Ronny Deila admitted the frustration is in the finishing. “We have to take advantage of those chances we have… I’ve been happy with our discipline and attitude,” he said.
Line Movement and Odds
- Moneyline: New England +120 | Draw +250 | Atlanta +230
- Total (O/U 2.5 goals): Over -135 | Under +115
- Both Teams to Score (BTTS): Yes -150 | No +120
Books opened with the Revs slight favorites at home. Market support has been light for Atlanta, with sharper bettors instead targeting the Over and BTTS given both clubs’ defensive struggles.

Matchup Breakdown
New England Outlook
The Revolution’s attack has been inconsistent, scoring four goals across their last four games. Carles Gil remains the talisman, leading the side with 10 goals and 11 assists. Expect the team to lean on him heavily, especially with interim coach Moreira keeping tactics simple. The Revs have struggled at Gillette but will want to give their fans something positive to close out the season.
Atlanta Outlook
Atlanta has generated plenty of chances but not results, as highlighted by consecutive 17-shot efforts producing just one point. Emmanuel Latte Lath (7 goals) and Aleksey Miranchuk (6) remain the primary scoring threats, but the side carries a -18 goal differential, its worst since joining MLS. Deila’s men have pride on the line and want to avoid finishing with fewer than six wins for the first time in club history.
Key Battle
Carles Gil vs. Atlanta’s midfield. If Gil finds space to dictate tempo, New England will control possession and create more high-quality chances. Atlanta’s inability to convert opportunities is another pivot point — if they stay wasteful, they’ll be punished.
