MLS acca
Inter Miami vs St Louis: Over 2.5 goals
Philadelphia vs Montreal: Over 2.5 goals
Vancouver vs Colorado: Over 2.5 goals
Inter Miami vs St Louis City
Despite welcoming back Lionel Messi and several other key players, Inter Miami were floored by Atlanta United midweek, losing 3-1.
They’ll be keen to bounce back, but visitors St Louis may smell blood, but their awful defensive recording will be their undoing.
City have allowed three goals in four of their last five away trips, while Chase Stadium has witnessed 42 goals across 11 matches this season.
Philadelphia Union vs Montreal Impact
Montreal didn’t let us down midweek as their game against DC United produced six goals. We expected similar drama in Philly, where the Union drew 0-0 with Toronto.
There’s no way they’ll draw another blank here having played out consecutive 0-0 draws. Despite their poor home record, it’s only a matter of time before things even out.
Philly are averaging 2xG per game at home but can’t stop conceding, while Montreal have allowed 19.9xG in nine away matches.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Colorado Rapids
Vancouver have produced a couple of outbursts this season but they’ve struggled for consistency in front of goal. They are creating chances though.
The midweek win over strugglers Sporting KC may just spark a little run of form, and they’ve got a nice home fixture in the form of Colorado to come on Saturday.
The Rapids create lots, but equally, they allow a lot of good-quality chances. They blow hot and cold but their away games this season have been end-to-end and full of goals.
Nashville SC vs New England Revolution
Nashville have had a patchy start to the season and they’ve dropped a few poor results at home, which is the only thing keeping this price up.
New England’s results are a true reflection of the way they’re playing, defending, and struggling to create. The Revs have been outscored 24-27 in their last 10 matches.
In MLS play alone, they’ve shipped 29 goals, which is in keeping with xG. Their differential on the road is -11 and Nashville has to exploit this to win back-to-back for the first time this season.
Real Salt Lake vs Austin FC
Real Salt Lake top the Western Conference with 30 points, while visitors Austin are also in the mix, as they sit in fifth with 23 points.
However, it’s worth noting that the visitors from Texas have amassed 17 of their 23 points on home soil. Away from home, they’ve won once and produced three goals in seven matches.
Their defence has been almost as stingy, so this will be a contest, but it’s a scenario where RSL often prevail. They’ve kept four clean sheets at home and conceded few chances.
