Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew Preview
Wednesday, July 5th, 00:30 (UK)
Inter Miami are marooned near the bottom of the overall table in the MLS. Lionel Messi is a coup for the club and the entire league but they will be looking to compete at the top of the division in the Argentine’s first full season at the club. There is plenty of work to do before then with the club currently enduring an eight-match run without a win.
Columbus Crew have done well in recent weeks and climbed up to 5th. Wilfried Nancy has his side playing some excellent attacking football and this is reflected in the goals scored. The team have now won five of their last six matches.
Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew Best Bet
This will be Gerardo Martino’s first game in charge of Inter Miami. The side have looked more dangerous in attack in recent weeks and this is something the new manager will want to build on. This bet has landed in four of Miami’s last five matches.
Columbus Crew’s matches have seen the 2nd most goals in the MLS this season with an average of 3.35 per game. They have kept just one clean sheet in their nine away matches in the league. There has been an average of three goals per game during that period.
- Selection: Over 2.5 Goals And Both Teams To Score
- Best Odds: 1.90 (bet365)
- Stakes: 7/10

LA Galaxy vs Los Angeles FC Preview
Wednesday, July 5th, 03:30 (UK)
LA Galaxy have drawn their last four matches. Their last league win came on June 1st and they are 2nd bottom in the overall table having picked up just 16 points so far. However, they did manage to beat LA FC in the cup in May.
Los Angeles FC were the pre-season favourites for the MLS Cup. They are still in the hunt due to the playoff format but they are well off the pace set by the league leaders. LA FC have dropped to 7th in the overall table after consecutive defeats. They will be looking to bounce back against their local rivals.
LA Galaxy vs Los Angeles FC Best Bet
LA Galaxy have won just 3 of their 19 league matches this season. The Galaxy are scoring an average of just 0.95 goals per game this season. Moreover, their opponents this week are still one of the strongest in the division and the reigning champions.
Los Angeles have won the last three league meetings against LA Galaxy. Those three matches have all ended 3-2. This game is the perfect opportunity for them to respond to their critics and get their season back on track. The team have also managed to win two of their last four away games.
- Selection: Los Angeles FC To Win
- Best Odds: 1.95 (William Hill)
- Stakes: 7/10

New York City vs Charlotte Preview
Thursday, July 6th, 00:30 (UK)
New York City won their last game 1-0 to end a run of 12 competitive matches without a win. The club, which is part of the City group, have struggled this season and are languishing in 22nd place in the overall MLS table. New York City finished 5th last season so this year’s struggles have come as a surprise.
Charlotte are level on points with City but they have played a game less. They are sitting just outside the playoff qualifier spots in the Eastern Conference so three points here could prove to be pivotal for their ambitions this season.
New York City vs Charlotte Best Bet
We are backing the away side for this one. New York City are averaging just 1.05 goals per game in the league this season. It’s surprising to see them priced so short after just one win since the start of May. New York are without a win in their last four home matches. They have lost two of those matches 3-1.
Charlotte haven’t been at their best when playing away from home but they have had notable away victories over Atlanta and Orlando this season. They also boast a strong record in their matches against New York. Charlotte have won the last three meetings between the sides. They won 3-1 the last time they visited this ground.
- Selection: Charlotte To Win
- Best Odds: 4.20 (bet365)
- Stakes: 4/10
