As the top American teams return to action after summer breaks, an exciting MLS schedule is set to unfold.
Fans can look forward to significant matchups as 14 games are lined up in both the Eastern and Western Conferences.
For those eager to bet this weekend, there are some compelling MLS betting options available.
00:30 Columbus Crew vs DC United
After suffering a tough 3-0 loss to Nashville earlier this week, Columbus is eager for an immediate comeback. Despite that setback, they’re still fighting for a top position in the Eastern Conference and looking forward to their return to Ohio. Under the management of Wilfried Nancy, who had a successful run with a 3-1 win against Atlanta, Columbus has been strong at home, winning three consecutive MLS matches with a combined score of 6-2. They have also only lost once in their last 13 home games across all competitions this year.
On the other hand, DC United faced disappointment last week with a 2-1 loss to Charlotte, leaving them struggling near the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Their journey in the US Open Cup ended on a low note after a 5-2 defeat to Nashville on July 10, which marked three losses in their last three games with a score of 9-4. Following a harsh 7-1 home defeat to Chicago last month, DC United has only secured one MLS win since early May and has struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet against top teams recently. With 43 goals conceded this season, they’re struggling to hold off aggressive attacks from other Eastern Conference squads.
Betting Tips for Columbus Crew vs DC United: Columbus Crew wins, both teams to score at 13/8 on Prevet.
03:30 Los Angeles FC vs LA Galaxy
Though Los Angeles FC hasn’t showcased its best form during the Summer Club World Cup, they’re on a mission to defend their Western Conference title. The team is currently in great shape; they recently secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Minnesota and also claimed a 3-0 win against Colorado. LAFC has tightened its defense notably, not conceding a single goal in nearly 350 minutes of play. In their last two home MLS games at BMO Stadium, they’ve outscored opponents 5-0, with their only home loss since mid-March.
Meanwhile, LA Galaxy is under immense pressure as they continue to struggle, currently at the bottom of the Western Conference standings. Coach Greg Vanney’s team only managed to collect 15 points from 23 matches this season, and they recently lost 2-1 at home to Austin. Commanding a poor away record, the Galaxy has not won in 14 consecutive road matches this year and has struggled historically against their local rivals, with only one win in the last five encounters.
