Big Matches
The two live matches in the UK are the first two which sees the Seattle Sounders hosting Toronto FC in a repeat of last season’s MLS Cup Final. That is followed by DC United against Montreal Impact. Houston Dynamo against Orlando City sees two sides flying high in their respective conferences doing battle.
Best of the Rest
Philadelphia Union will be looking to get something going when they take on the New York Red Bulls while San Jose Earthquakes against Portland Timbers is an interesting Western Conference battle. All eyes will be on the Los Angeles Galaxy to see if they can get a home win against the Chicago Fire.
Betting
There are two bets I like in this set of fixtures and I’m going to get going with the early game where I’m expecting goals between Seattle Sounders and Toronto FC. Seattle’s defensive issues are well known but nobody can doubt their fighting spirit or their heart after their fightback last week.
Toronto FC have one of the most potent attacks in the competition to take advantage of those deficiencies of Seattle but we have to respect this Seattle attack especially at the Link so over 2.75 goals looks to have every chance in a match which has the potential to go goal crazy with the quality of stars on show.
FC Dallas are the only unbeaten side in the MLS now and I think they can at least preserve their unbeaten record when they head to an average Real Salt Lake in the early hours of Sunday morning. Dallas are one of the best sides in the competition so their unbeaten record isn’t a surprise. Real Salt Lake ship far too many goals for my liking and if Dallas can get in front I would fancy them to see it out for another victory.
