Two sides the ratings cannot separate
DC United carry a model rating of 6.41 against 6.5 for New England Revolution. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.
A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.
Recent form (most recent last): DC United D-D-D-W-D; New England Revolution L-D-W-D-L.
The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 2.04 goals for DC United and 1.86 for New England Revolution. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
DC United rate 0.75 in attack and 1.87 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; New England Revolution rate 0.71 and 1.44.
That points to 75% for over two and a half goals and 74% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (8%), 2-1 (8%), 2-2 (7%).
