Only a few games have been played in the Major League Soccer so far, with New England placed 7th and New York RB sitting in the 6th position.
It's no vacation for neither England nor New York RB as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not New York RB's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf New York RB have performed like this: Played eight matches resulting in 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats with the goal stats 11-13 (scored/conceded).
These teams have little in common geographically as New York RB have to travel 2300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
New England form and stats
New England have less points than they have played home games in the Major League Soccer so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 2 points. England have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
A good away victory last time out for England, who won 2-1 against DC United (placed 11th). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Philadelphia Union that ended 0-0.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does England handle that role? We have found eleven games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are five wins, three draws and three defeats.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as New York City are coming to town in four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the New England at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
New York RB form and stats
The Major League Soccer season is young and New York RB have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far. Three consecutive losses in away matches means New York RB are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
York lost away at Philadelphia Union (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs New York City.
New York RB are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and six defeats. From a total of eight matches.
After this away game York return home for a Major League Soccer game against DC United. That game is only four sleeps after this.
New York RB have the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
