Major League Soccer stats and tips
Austin v LA Galaxy - Double Chance - home win or draw
It has been a miserable run of results for Los Angeles Galaxy and their supporters, with their last Major League Soccer success now coming 8 games ago. Boss Greg Vanney simply must find a way out, and sooner rather than later. Will Austin at Q2 Stadium on Saturday provide some relief?
Columbus v Miami - Both Teams To Score - yes
When Columbus Crew and Inter Miami have met in the Major League Soccer, goals have generally followed. Both sides have scored in each of their last 5 matches against one another, so the TCF Bank Stadium crowd will be expecting another thriller on Saturday night.
Charlotte v San Diego - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over
Each of San Diego's last 6 Major League Soccer games has had two or more goals, suggesting that entertainment could be on its way as they battle it out with Charlotte on Sunday morning.
Montreal v Orlando - Double Chance - away win or draw
Óscar Alexander Pareja Gómez and his Orlando City troops have developed a convenient knack of claiming something from pretty much every Major League Soccer match they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in Major League Soccer now, so L. Courtois and his Montreal Impact charges will have their work cut out if they're to get the win at Stade Saputo on Sunday.
New England v NY City - Double Chance - away win or draw
New England Revolution simply have not been able to find a way past New York City in the Major League Soccer in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 5 occasions since 2023, and New York City have been unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Gillette Stadium could be a really difficult one for Caleb Porter & co.
NY Red Bulls v DC United - Double Chance - home win or draw
DC United have found something of a bogey team in New York RB in the Major League Soccer in recent years. The two sides have played on 6 occasions since 2022, and New York RB have remained unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Red Bull Arena Salzburg could be another hard one for T. Lesesne & co.
Seattle v Nashville - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
Nashville SC's recent Major League Soccer outings have been full of goalmouth drama. Every one of their last 5 have had over 2.5 goals, and Sunday against Seattle Sounders may well deliver more of the same. Neutrals will be hoping that B. Callaghan II and Brian Schmetzer send their lads out to push forward again.
Chicago v Cincinnati - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at Toyota Park will be fully expecting action at both ends on Sunday, and rightly so if Chicago Fire's past record is to be continued. Both teams have found the net in 7 of their 8 Major League Soccer fixtures this season, a record matched by no other team in the competition.
Houston v Colorado - Double Chance - home win or draw
Colorado Rapids simply have not been able to find a way past Houston Dynamo in the Major League Soccer in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 6 occasions since 2022, and Houston Dynamo have gone unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at BBVA Compass Stadium could be another hard one for C. Armas & co.
Minnesota v Dallas - Double Chance - home win or draw
Every now and then we get a golden spell in football, and it has now been a while since since Minnesota United’s happy fans watched their lads get beaten in Major League Soccer. E. Ramsay’s men are now unbeaten in 7 matches, and he'll be full of belief that they can extend that run against Dallas at Allianz Field on Sunday morning. Best value odds of 1.18 can be taken advantage of to back Minnesota United to get the win or the draw.
Saint Louis City v Vancouver - Win / Draw / Win - away win
It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's the task facing Saint Louis City boss O. Mellberg on Sunday. His players face Vancouver Whitecaps having been beaten in each of their last 4 Major League Soccer games.
Salt Lake v Toronto - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Real Salt Lake's recent matches in Major League Soccer have delivered decent entertainment, and a fair amount of goals, but it has been a while since Pablo Andrés Mastroeni's charges provided their supporters with the kind of goal-fest we all really want to see. There have been under 4.5 goals in all of their last 14 outings.
Portland v LAFC - Double Chance - home win or draw
Phil Neville and his Portland Timbers troops have gained a handy knack of taking something from pretty much every Major League Soccer match they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in Major League Soccer now, so Steven Cherundolo and his Los Angeles FC charges will have to be at their best if they're going to get anything at Providence Park on Sunday.
San Jose v Sporting KC - Both Teams To Score - yes
SJ Earthquakes fans have been spoilt with action at each end when their side plays in Major League Soccer, with both sides having scored in all of their last 5 games. Sporting KC on Sunday morning should be another goal-fest.
Houston v Austin - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like tipping goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming match between Houston Dynamo and Austin might well warrant a closer look. B. Olsen's side have lost 4 games this campaign in which both sides have found the net. That's a record in Major League Soccer.
LAFC v Saint Louis City - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can expect at least one set of players to keep a clean sheet at Banc of California Stadium on Monday, as O. Mellberg and Steven Cherundolo's sides clash. Saint Louis City have had the highest number of matches where one team or more has failed to score (i.e. BTTS no) in Major League Soccer so far this campaign - 7 out of 8 played. Both managers will just be praying it isn't their them that fails to register.
LA Galaxy v Portland - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Dignity Health Sports Park plays host as Los Angeles Galaxy and Portland Timbers go head-to-head on Monday morning, in what could prove to be a tight affair. Greg Vanney's side have the most score draws of any side in the competition - 3 in 8 outings. An extension of that record can be backed at 4.33.
