Major League Soccer stats and tips

Atlanta v LAFC - Double Chance - away win or draw

It has been a dismal set of results for Atlanta United and their fans, with their last Major League Soccer victory now coming 8 games ago. Boss Gonzalo Pineda Reyes needs to find a solution, and preferably right away. Will Los Angeles FC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday be the one in which they turn it around?

Charlotte v Philadelphia - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring matches aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Charlotte have had too many chances to test that theory this season. 10 of their side's encounters in Major League Soccer have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will Jim Curtin and his Philadelphia Union side be able to inject goalmouth action into this match on Sunday? Or will it be same old same old?

DC v Chicago - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's exactly what must be done by Chicago Fire boss F. Klopas on Sunday. His players face DC United having lost each of their last 4 Major League Soccer matches.

Montreal v Nashville - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's exactly what must be done by Montreal Impact boss L. Courtois on Sunday. His side face Nashville SC having lost each of their last 4 Major League Soccer outings.

New England v NY City - Half Time / Full Time - away+away

New England Revolution will be hoping not to add to the 5 games they have already lost at both the break and the final whistle this term when they square off against New York City on Sunday. Caleb Porter's players already lead the rest of Major League Soccer in that department, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss N. Cushing will be licking his lips, however.

Orlando v Columbus - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

The 5+ goal game may be a rare beast, but Columbus Crew's loyal fans have now been waiting 15 matches to see their side deliver one. A frustrating statistic in anyone's book. Could the streak come to an end on Sunday morning, as they face Óscar Alexander Pareja Gómez's Orlando City at Exploria Stadium? With odds of 1.14 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the bookies certainly don’t think so.

Toronto v Cincinnati - Win / Draw / Win - away win

There's some serious momentum building behind Cincinnati at the moment. They've claimed victory in 6 consecutive Major League Soccer games, and Pat Noonan will be going all out to maintain that winning streak as they face Toronto FC at BMO Field on Sunday morning.

Dallas v Salt Lake - Double Chance - away win or draw

Weeks have passed since Real Salt Lake’s merry followers watched their side suffer defeat in Major League Soccer. Pablo Andrés Mastroeni’s boys are now unbeaten in 10 games, and he'll be telling them that they can keep going against Dallas at Toyota Stadium on Sunday morning. Top odds of 1.48 can be taken advantage of to back Real Salt Lake to avoid defeat yet again.

Saint Louis City v Seattle - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under

Fans heading to this Sunday to watch Seattle Sounders and Saint Louis City might already be concerned about a boring morning, and who could blame them? Brian Schmetzer's charges have produced 3 goalless draws this campaign, the highest number of any team in Major League Soccer. Will either side break the deadlock? Bet against it at best odds of 11.00.

Colorado v Minnesota - Double Chance - away win or draw

C. Knowles and his Minnesota United troops have developed a useful habit of taking something from almost every Major League Soccer fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in Major League Soccer now, so C. Armas and his Colorado Rapids team will have their work cut out if they're to get the win at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Sunday.

LA Galaxy v Houston - Double Chance - away win or draw

Following your favourite footy team year after year can be a thankless task, and Los Angeles Galaxy’s long-suffering follows know that better than most right now. Their club, led by Greg Vanney, has not won any of their last 5 Major League Soccer matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Houston Dynamo at Dignity Health Sports Park on Sunday morning. Backing opposition gaffer B. Olsen to extend the run by leading his team to a positive result can be backed at top odds of 2.00.

Portland v Kansas City - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's the task facing Sporting KC boss Peter Vermes on Sunday. His players face Portland Timbers having been beaten in each of their last 4 Major League Soccer games.

San Jose v Austin - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming fixture between SJ Earthquakes and Austin might well warrant a closer look. L. Gonzalez's side have lost 7 games this term in which both sides have got on the scoresheet. That's a record in Major League Soccer.

Vancouver v Miami - Double Chance - away win or draw

What a dismal succession of results for Vancouver Whitecaps and their supporters, with their last Major League Soccer win now coming 5 matches ago. Boss Vanni Sartini needs to find a solution, and quickly. Will Inter Miami at BC Place Stadium on Sunday provide some relief?

New York v Charlotte - Both Teams To Score - yes

New York RB supporters have come to expect action at each end when their side plays in Major League Soccer, with both sides having scored at least one goal in every one of their last 6 games. Charlotte on Thursday morning should be another ding-dong battle.
