Low-Scoring Battle Expected as Rapids Visit Revolution
The Colorado Rapids are hoping to build off a much-needed win when they travel to face the New England Revolution in Foxborough on Saturday. But if recent form and team profiles are any indication, goals could be in short supply.
Bet confidently this weekend with the help of MLS betting picks, soccer predictions, and expert insights.
The Rapids (7-8-4, 25 points) snapped a three-game losing skid with a 2-0 win over the LA Galaxy on Wednesday. Despite being out-possessed and outshot, Colorado’s defense stood tall to earn their third clean sheet in their last six matches.
“Collectively, the team handled (the Galaxy’s attack) well by controlling the transition moments… Tactically we stuck to it, and individually guys carried their weight.”

Djordje Mihailovic and Calvin Harris provided the first-half goals—an offensive breakout for a team that had been held to one or fewer goals in nine straight matches. Mihailovic now leads Colorado with eight goals and 11 total goal contributions.
On the other side, New England (6-6-5, 23 points) is coming off a 3-2 loss to Nashville SC—a rare defensive letdown for the league’s stingiest backline. The Revolution had allowed a league-low 18 goals before Wednesday, but couldn’t contain Sam Surridge, who netted a hat trick.
“We want to respond… We want to be better at home, so it’s another opportunity Saturday.”
— Jackson Yueill
New England had been on a nine-match unbeaten run before dropping their last two matches—both at home. They’re now 2-4-1 at Gillette Stadium, while Colorado carries a 2-4-2 road mark into the match.
Historical Trends and Match Outlook
Recent history favors the Revolution. They are unbeaten in their last six home matches against Colorado (5-0-1), and the Rapids haven’t won in Foxborough since April 2010. Both clubs rank near the bottom of MLS in goals scored—Colorado with 20, New England with 21—further suggesting a tight, tactical affair.
Carles Gil leads the Revs with six goals and five assists, continuing to serve as their creative spark. But with both teams defensively organized and lacking explosive firepower, this contest could be decided by a single moment or set piece.
For bettors and fans watching closely, this game shapes up as a great opportunity to explore MLS betting picks and Soccer predictions, especially in markets like total goals under or player-specific props involving Mihailovic or Gil.
