When two teams need victories, they've got to be glad to see each other. New York City F.C. will visit the New England Revolution for a match at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, each hoping to boost W/D/L records that have combined for only five wins so far.

Saturday's sportsbook favorite NYCFC looks impressive for a club that appears stuck around the .500 mark. New York City snapped a two-game skid with a 1-0 win over Philadelphia last weekend, but before that, the Pigeons also held powerful Columbus to a clean sheet. Pigeons forward Alonso Martinez ranks third in MLS with five goals and 13 shots-on-target this season.

Most critically, New York City F.C. has a win over New England on the books already. The Pigeons had the embarrassment of scoring an own-goal early in March 15's bout against the Revolution, but roared back with counter-play and goals in both halves to win 2-1. New England had better not pass the ball so aimlessly if a Saturday upset is in the cards, even at home in Foxboro.

New York City F.C. vs New England Revolution Predictions and Picks

New York City's devotion to defense this year was dished in a surprisingly mature chat between Pigeons home page contributors and Mitja Ilenič prior to Saturday night's fight with New England. "Now I go to help the team," Ilenič said of his veteran status. "In my first year, I go just to go," he added, meaning his forward runs weren't always drawn up by a coach.

Meanwhile, there's bluster out of Boston that's harder to swallow. New England's captains are chirping about how the Revolution's form has turned around, and yet there's little evidence of that in match reports. New England only produced one goal and three league points from the Revolution's most recent road trip to Cincinnati and Atlanta.

NYCFC's odds for Saturday are held back by the club's early record, which does not reflect the better form of New York compared to New England, with its comparable record. The visiting team's odds to win are too generous, making New York City the pick.
