As the MLS turns up the action on Sundays, fans can look forward to a packed schedule across both the Eastern and Western Conferences.
Exciting matchups await as Lionel Messi, the eighth Ballon d’Or winner, seeks to add to his remarkable record this Sunday.
If you’re interested in some weekend betting, we’ve compiled some intriguing MLS betting insights.
00:30 Philadelphia Union vs. Colorado Rapids
While the Philadelphia Union overcame last season’s struggles, they’ve been battling near the bottom of the Eastern Conference throughout the 2024 season. However, they’re currently in a promising third place with Coach Bradley Kernel aiming for a playoff return this year. The Union has gathered seven points from their last three MLS games and aims to build on their momentum after a 4-1 win against USL outfit Pittsburgh in the US Open Cup on May 22.
Colorado Rapids pulled off a surprising comeback with a 3-3 draw against Seattle last week, looking to use that as motivation moving forward. Despite an impressive 3-0 win against Vancouver earlier this month, the Rapids find themselves barely holding onto a playoff spot. Chris Armas’ team has struggled with only two victories in their last nine matches and has not won at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in eight outings, with their last defeats including a 3-0 loss to Los Angeles on July 10. Furthermore, Colorado has conceded at least two goals in those last eight matches.
Betting Tips for Philadelphia Union vs. Colorado Rapids: Bet 6/5 @ 6/5 on Prevet.
03:30 Vancouver Whitecaps vs. Sporting Kansas City
Vancouver Whitecaps haven’t recorded a victory since their return from summer break, but they are heating up in the MLS scene. Positioned as a surprising contender in the Western Conference, the Whitecaps are just one point away from the top spot. Under Coach Jesper Sorensen, they aim to reflect their home success following a dominant 3-0 win against Houston. Despite an intense 5-3 loss to San Diego in June, that is their only setback at home in their last ten matches across competitions.
Sporting Kansas City started July with a win over Colorado but has struggled since, failing to secure consecutive victories in MLS this season. After a disappointing 1-1 draw with New York City, they’ve dropped to the bottom of the Western Conference table. Interim coach Kelly Zavanin is facing pressure following a 3-2 loss to Seattle and a previous 2-1 loss to Vancouver, making their upcoming clash even more crucial given they’ve only won once in their last six meetings against the Whitecaps.
