USA Major League Soccer -Los Angeles Galaxy VS Minnesota United FC

 

 

Team Analysis

LA Galaxy must rise if they have to return to winning ways in this match. Losing against a rival team can be quite disappointing and this team has been sick of that feeling for some time. Before losing their last match to Los Angeles FC, they drew consecutively in their previous 2 matches.

Minnesota United is not in their best form at the moment, which is why they are considered underdogs in this match. They played Sporting Kansas City in the last game and they lost by one goal.

USA Major League Soccer -- Seattle Sounders vs Charlotte FC Game Preview

 

​

 

Pick:1x2    Seattle Sounders  @1.53

 

Analysis:

On Sunday, Charlotte FC will face the Seattle Sounders for the first time in team history at Lumen Field in pursuit of their first career road victory in MLS.

 

Seattle Sounders

Last weekend, the Sounders were defeated 1-0 by the Colorado Rapids. Seattle has been allowing a lot of goals in recent games, but they've been able to make up for it by putting up strong performances at home. However, their supporters will be disappointed to learn that they currently rank 12th in the Western Conference, out of a total of 14 teams.

 

Charlotte FC

With a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps, Charlotte climbed into the Eastern Conference's top seven. Charlotte hasn't won in five of their last nine games overall, and they haven't won on the road this season. And that wasn't even in the Major League Soccer. Charlotte is making every effort to get into the Eastern Conference's top tier.

 

Prediction

Charlotte has yet to establish that they can do anything other than keep a game close away from home, as surprising as they have been through the first 13 games of the season. The Sounders are aware that the schedule for the next few weeks is favorable to them, and one thing about this team is that they seldom pass up a chance.

USA Major League Soccer -- Vancouver Whitecaps vs FC Dallas Game Preview

 

 

Pick:1x2   FC Dallas  @2.45

 

Analysis:

The Vancouver Whitecaps take on FC Dallas on Thursday in Major League Soccer.

 

Vancouver Whitecaps

The Vancouver Whitecaps prepare for this match after a 3-3 MLS draw with the San Jose Earthquakes. Vancouver Whitecaps games have been increasingly thrilling recently, with plenty of goals expected. In their last six meetings, both teams have scored a total of 20 goals (at an average of 3.33 goals per game), with 9 of those coming from the Vancouver Whitecaps.

 

FC Dallas

FC Dallas enters this match fresh off a 1-3 MLS victory against the Los Angeles Galaxy in their previous match. In the six games leading up to this match, they have been strong in the attacking third, scoring 13 goals. This doesn't change the reality that FC Dallas has had some defensive issues, with goals scored against them in five of those matches.

 

Prediction

Despite a dramatic attacking outburst last weekend, the Caps are unlikely to find as much open space against Dallas, who are considerably more adept at closing you down.
