Jonesy's Verdict

Strong
Both teams to score - Yes Won Strong lean Strong · high BTTS probability

The model’s 69.7% BTTS probability, driven by equal expected goals and Orlando’s leaky away defence, makes a goal on both sides the most probable outcome.

Show the maths
Both teams are rated at 1.8 expected goals, indicating a balanced attack. Revolution’s home defence concedes only 0.9 goals per game, but Orlando’s away defence gives up 3.3, suggesting they will be vulnerable. The model translates this parity in attack and the defensive gap into a 69.7% chance that each side scores, which directly supports the BTTS – Yes pick.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 69.7% model probability

With New England Revolution averaging 1.8 expected goals and Orlando City SC averaging 1.8, the model gives a 69.7% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 30.3% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (New England Revolution 1.8, Orlando City SC 1.8) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 69.7% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 30.3% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Won 69.7% model probability

Combined expected goals of 3.6 (New England Revolution 1.8 + Orlando City SC 1.8) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 69.7% chance against 30.3% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (New England Revolution 1.8 + Orlando City SC 1.8 = 3.6 combined): 69.7% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 30.3% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has New England Revolution at 39.0%, the draw at 21.9%, and Orlando City SC at 39.0% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 8.9% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

New England Revolution

DWLWW

New England’s recent form (D 1‑1 vs NYCFC, W 3‑1 vs Columbus, L 1‑2 vs LA Galaxy, W 2‑1 vs NYCFC, W 2‑1 vs Chicago) shows they can score three or more goals while also allowing a reply, as seen in the 3‑1 win and 2‑1 wins. This ability to both hit the net and concede supports a scenario where both sides find the back of the net.

Orlando City SC

WDWWW

Orlando’s form (W 2‑1 vs Real Salt Lake, D 3‑3 vs Minnesota, W 1‑0 vs San Diego, W 3‑2 vs Atlanta, W 3‑0 vs Toronto) includes a 3‑2 win and a 3‑3 draw, confirming they regularly score multiple goals but also concede. Their recent run of high‑scoring games underlines the likelihood of them scoring again while keeping the opposition’s chances alive.

Head-to-Head

In the last five meetings, four have featured both sides scoring – 3‑4, 1‑2, 3‑3, and 1‑3 – indicating a strong historical trend for BTTS that aligns with the model’s projection.
