Have the Major League Soccer ranks gotten good enough that minnows are swimming? Minnows are those underdogs who swim up the Premier League standings, or the FA Cup bracket, early in a season thanks to coaching, luck, or a nice draw of opponents. Such teams are thought to revert to form after 12 weeks or so against a difficult field. Charlotte FC's skeptical odds for Saturday show that The Crown is considered a minnow in MLS, not possessing the form to maintain a hot streak versus New England's 3-1-4 squad. 

Maybe Charlotte FC will see its "plus" odds for Saturday's 7:30 p.m. EST home game against New England, and get fighting mad. Charlotte FC has been inspired, co-leading the Eastern Conference ahead of Lionel Messi and Inter Miami. The Crown has recorded two straight clean sheets and smashed San Diego 3-0 last weekend. Spanish attacking midfielder Pep Biel is tied for the MLS lead in assists with six in nine outings. 

The catch is New England is on a solid streak of its own, earning nine points from its last four matches. Will The Crown force the Revolution's less-talented lineup into some "reversion" of its own?

Charlotte FC vs New England Revolution Predictions and Picks

New England was impressive in last week's 2-0 win over New York City FC, outfoxing the Pigeons and dominating the game's key strikes. Carles Gil is also drawing praise for shining in Boston's midfield. 

Telecom Asia's preview of Saturday's kickoff recaps that "Carles Gil was immense" against NYCFC. "He scored once, assisted once, and now has the all-time assist record for the club." 

If sportsbooks think both teams' attacks will revert to average, then why put such low-risk odds on the under-total-goals pick against a standard line of O/U (2.5)? Predictions of a 1-1 game between two lively teams aren't sexy, but could indeed prevail after a cat-and-mouse style tactical contest in Carolina.
