With all of America’s elite now back in the swing of things following the summer interval, we have another stacked MLS schedule on the cards.
With 14 fixtures from both the Eastern and Western Conference, we also have some heavyweight showdowns that should steal centre stage.
For those of you looking to stick on a weekend flutter, we have taken a look at some of the most eye-catching MLS betting markets that are available.
00:30 Columbus Crew vs DC United
Eventually falling to what was a nightmare 3-0 drumming away at Nashville earlier in the week, Columbus are seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, still scrapping it out at the top of the Eastern Conference table and cruising their way to another play-off ticket, Sunday’s hosts will be excited to make a return to Ohio. Suffering just a single defeat from any of their previous six MLS appearances, Wilfried Nancy’s men have continued to shine with their performances on home soil. Signing off June with a stellar 3-1 victory against Atalanta, the former Montreal boss has seen his squad win all of their last three straight MLS showdowns in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 6-2. Collecting some heavyweight scalps on that stellar purple patch in Ohio, it should also be highlighted that Columbus have suffered just a single defeat from any of their 13 home fixtures across all competitions so far this calendar year.
Last seen earlier in the week putting in another downbeat display as they fell to a 2-1 loss away at Charlotte, DC United are once again scrapping it out at the foot of the Eastern Conference table. Watching their US Open Cup adventure come to a thumping end on July 10th as they slumped to a 5-2 defeat against Nashville, Rene Weiler’s men have now lost all of their previous three appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 9-4. Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny last month as they got hit with a 7-1 drumming at home against Chicago, the former Anderlecht boss has remarkably seen his struggling squad put just a single MLS victory on the board since the start of May. Likewise, not registering a single clean sheet against top-flight opposition over the past two months, DC United have also shown some glaring defensive struggles. Shipping 43 MLS strikes so far this season, no team in the Eastern Conference has conceded more goals.

03:30 Los Angeles FC vs LA Galaxy
While Los Angeles might have failed to find any kind of fluidity during their summer Club World Cup adventure, the Falcons have come roaring back. With their sights firmly set on defending their Western Conference crown in 2025, Sunday’s hosts are enjoying what has become a real purple patch. Last seen earlier in the week putting in another gritty performance as they clinched a 1-0 victory away at Minnesota, John Cherundolo’s men will be confident of making another statement here. Getting July underway with a stellar 3-0 romp against Colorado, Los Angeles have also found some recent defensive steel. In fact, LAFC have not conceded a single strike in almost 350 minutes of action. It should also be highlighted, Cherundolo’s camp have won their last two MLS showdowns at the BMO Stadium by an aggregate score of 5-0. Likewise, the Falcons have suffered just a sole domestic defeat in front of their own supporters since the middle of March.
Breaking a string of unwanted records this season, LA Galaxy have rightfully come under a huge amount of scrutiny. Sat rock-bottom of the Western Conference standings, Greg Vanney has serious pressure on his shoulders in Carson. Last seen earlier in the week getting hit with a 2-1 defeat at home against Austin, the former Toronto boss has seen his struggling squad muster just 15 points from any of their 23 MLS appearances so far this season. Pencilled in as a real underdog when they travel across California this weekend, LA Galaxy have also gained a major reputation for their glaring issues on the road. In fact, Vanney’s men have remarkably failed to win any of their 14 straight matchups away from Dignity Health Sports Park so far this calendar year. Mustering just a single victory from any of their last five meetings against their local rivals, the Galaxy couldn’t have asked for a tougher task.
