Why bet on the MLS?

Before we jump in, let’s address the burning question that you’re likely asking: Why should I even bet on the MLS in 2023? There’s two main reasons:

⚽ The Odds

The MLS is considered a small league in comparison to popular leagues like the NFL, MLB, or Premier League. This means the books aren’t paying much attention resulting in betting lines typically being way off (and oftentimes offering very favorable odds, win or tie). With the right information, you can gain a knowledge advantage and identify valuable bets (that’s where we come in).

You’ll never know more than the book, but one of the best ways to make money in betting is to get as close to having an edge as possible over the folks coming up with the odds. The MLS is the perfect opportunity to do so.

🚀 Growing popularity

We’re a little biased here given we’re MLS fans, but watching the MLS is actually extremely entertaining. The growing popularity over the past 10 years and the signings of superstars like Messi and Bisquets would back up that claim. The level of play is getting better and matches are action packed until the final whistle, so why not make some money while enjoying the game?

Now that introductions are out of the way, let's get to the heart of the matter. Here's a look at the upcoming games and the current betting odds to keep on your radar. Whether you're just looking to stay informed or planning your next move, we've got the details you need.

New England vs Nashville: +260 for Draw (Defensive Duel)

🔥 Recent Performance

Nashville may have been stepping up their game lately, but their best still finds them seated at 7th in the conference. Their rivals from New England share a similar story.

🧬 Key Traits of Both Teams

• Defense Dominance: Both squads have been unwavering in their defensive efforts. Their tenacity at the back has limited adversaries from finding the back of the net.

• Offensive Struggles: While defense might be their strong suit, the two teams have had their share of challenges upfront. Goals have been scarce, and breaking through the opposition's defense has been a hurdle.

💭 Match Prediction

Given the defensive prowess of both teams and the struggles they face in attack, a draw might be the most likely outcome. If you're looking to place a bet, it might be wise to consider a stalemate.

Real Salt Lake vs LA Galaxy +150 For Real Salt Lake (Momentum Wins)

💡 Galaxy's Defensive Vulnerabilities against Sergio Córdova of Real Salt Lake

• Julian Araujo: The young right back, brimming with potential, has been inconsistent. His defensive errors coupled with his subdued offensive impact have been notable.

• Raheem Edwards: The left back, although a competent defender, has been lukewarm in his offensive contributions, with just one goal and two assists this season.
