Major League Soccer stats and tips

Atlanta v LAFC - Double Chance - away win or draw

Following your favourite footy team year after year can be hard going, and Atlanta United’s dogged old follows know that only too well right now. Their club, led by Gonzalo Pineda Reyes, has now failed to win any of their last 8 Major League Soccer matches, and the clouds hardly look like parting against Los Angeles FC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday morning. Backing opposition boss Steven Cherundolo to add another to that list by inspiring his side to either a win or draw can be backed at top odds of 1.53.

Charlotte v Philadelphia - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring games aren't always boring, but fans of Charlotte have had too many chances to test that theory this campaign. 10 of their side's fixtures 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 team be able to inject spice into this encounter on Sunday? Or will it be same old same old?

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

It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's exactly what must be done by Chicago Fire boss F. Klopas on Sunday. His team faces DC United having lost each of their last 4 Major League Soccer games.

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

It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's the task facing 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 been losing at both the break and the final whistle this term when they take on New York City on Sunday. Caleb Porter's team already lead the rest of Major League Soccer in that category, and won't want to make the situation any worse. Opposing boss N. Cushing may not feel the same way, however.

Orlando v Columbus - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

Columbus Crew's recent games in Major League Soccer have delivered goals and thrills along the way, but it has been some time since Wilfried Nancy's players treated their fans to the kind of wild ride they'll remember for years to come. There have been no more than 4 goals in each of their last 15 games.

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

Few will have missed the impressive form of Cincinnati of late. They've won 6 consecutive Major League Soccer matches, and Pat Noonan will be going all out to keep that run going as they come up against Toronto FC at BMO Field on Sunday morning.

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

Pablo Andrés Mastroeni and his Real Salt Lake side have gained a handy way of taking something from just about every Major League Soccer match they play. They're unbeaten in 10 in Major League Soccer now, so Nicolás Estévez Martínez and his Dallas side will have their work cut out if they're to get the win at Toyota Stadium on Sunday.

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

Fans travelling to this Sunday to watch Seattle Sounders and Saint Louis City might already be fearing a long morning, and who could blame them? Brian Schmetzer's men have played their part in 3 matches with under 0.5 goals this term, the most of any team in Major League Soccer. Will either side score? Bet against it at best odds of 11.00.

Colorado v Minnesota - Double Chance - away win or draw

Luckily for them, it has been quite some time since Minnesota United’s happy fans watched their team get beaten in Major League Soccer. C. Knowles’s squad is now unbeaten in 5 games, and he'll be expecting that they can extend that run against Colorado Rapids at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Sunday morning. Best odds of 1.91 are available to back Minnesota United the double chance market.

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

Following your favourite footy team year after year can be a pretty dispiriting experience at times, and Los Angeles Galaxy’s dogged old follows know that better than most at the moment. Their side, led by Greg Vanney, has now failed to win any of their last 5 Major League Soccer matches, and the clouds hardly look like parting against Houston Dynamo at Dignity Health Sports Park on Sunday morning. Backing opposition gaffer B. Olsen to add another to that list by inspiring his side to a positive result can be backed at best odds of 2.00.

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

Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's what's required of Sporting KC boss Peter Vermes on Sunday. His side face Portland Timbers having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 4 Major League Soccer matches.

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

If you like backing goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming game between SJ Earthquakes and Austin might well be worth a look. L. Gonzalez's side have lost 7 games this season in which both clubs have got on the scoresheet. That's the most in Major League Soccer.

Vancouver v Miami - Double Chance - away win or draw

Following your favourite footy team year after year can be a thankless task, and Vancouver Whitecaps’s hardy follows know that only too well right now. Their side, led by Vanni Sartini, has now failed to win any of their last 5 Major League Soccer matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Inter Miami at BC Place Stadium on Sunday morning. Backing opposition gaffer G. Martino to add to their misery by leading his team to anything other than a defeat is available at best odds of 1.50.

New York v Charlotte - Both Teams To Score - yes

New York RB supporters have become used to action at each end when their side plays in Major League Soccer, with both sides having found the net in all of their last 6 matches. Charlotte on Thursday morning may well be another goal-fest.
