Preview
The first of the two televised matches would have been a big one regardless of the situation as two of the best in the Western Conference collide when the Portland Timbers host Los Angeles FC but the visitors head to Oregon knowing that victory will give them the Supporters’ Shield and that MLS Cup will go through their part of California. When they are done the TV action continues to focus on the Western Conference as the Seattle Sounders head to Sporting Kansas City knowing that only a win will keep their season alive.
The champions actually open up the show when New York City FC look to seal a home game in the first round of the play-offs. They host an Orlando City who are battling just to be in the postseason and a win here would go a long way to getting them there. The final match of the night also comes from the Western Conference where Nashville SC will look to move up to third place in the table with a win over the Houston Dynamo who are playing out time in their campaign.
Betting
Seattle Sounders have to beat Sporting Kansas City to keep their season alive and I think that sets us up for one of those crazy MLS matches which we tend to get at this stage of the season. In fairness, we might have got it anyway because since Sporting Kansas City have had little to play for they have caught fire at home, winning their last five home games scoring 16 goals in the process. Seattle’s need to score might make them more open than usual which will play into the hands of the home side.
Seattle might get encouragement in their quest for goals though because Sporting Kansas City have only kept one clean sheet in their last 12 at home so Seattle aren’t going to lack for chances and with the quality they have in attacking areas you would imagine this will be the night that those opportunities get taken given the necessity to win. The last six Seattle away games have had at least three goals as have the last eight meetings between these two so we should get some sort of a return on the over 2.75 goals here.
