MLS predictions: 13/06-15/06

New York City vs Atlanta United

Teams from the lower part of the standings will face off, with only the hosts in a slightly better position. New York generally prefers playing at home, ranking in the top-4 of the league by this metric. Atlanta, on the other hand, has not yet secured an away victory, having only earned 2 points on the road. New York's last home match ended in a crushing defeat, so they need to regroup and redeem themselves in the upcoming game. The opponent is quite manageable.

Match Prediction for New York City vs Atlanta United: Home Win

Portland Timbers vs San Jose Earthquakes

The hosts have returned to winning ways, securing victories in the last two MLS rounds. The team continues to concede in every game, which might pose a problem in the upcoming match. San Jose knows how to score, averaging two goals per match, but they also concede just as much. The opponents have already met once in the regular season, resulting in a goal exchange. We expect an end-to-end game and believe this trend might continue.

Match Prediction for Portland Timbers vs San Jose Earthquakes: Both Teams to Score

St. Louis City vs Los Angeles Galaxy

A meeting of the season's underperformers. The opponents are at the bottom of the standings and in adjacent positions. Both clubs rarely win, and the upcoming match is a good opportunity to change that. In March, St. Louis managed to defeat the opponent, but now the visitors should be on the rise, as Galaxy finally secured their first win of the season in the last round. The team is capable of earning points again, considering St. Louis is not in the best form, having lost 4 out of the last 5 matches.

Match Prediction for St. Louis City vs Los Angeles Galaxy: Visitors Will Not Lose

Columbus Crew vs Vancouver Whitecaps

The Canadians continue to lead their conference, which is somewhat unexpected. In the upcoming match, they face a serious opponent in Columbus, who has slightly dropped in the standings but remains a formidable force. The Crew suffered a heavy defeat to Inter Miami in the last round and will be eager to make amends. Vancouver, on the other hand, confidently won their rescheduled match. Looking at the head-to-head history, it is evident that the opponents often exchange goals. This trend might repeat, as Columbus regularly concedes at home, and Vancouver has scored against even strong clubs.

Match Prediction for Columbus Crew vs Vancouver Whitecaps: Both Teams to Score

New England Revolution vs Cincinnati

The second meeting teams this season. Cincinnati claimed the first match on their home turf, scoring the only goal. Currently, the visitors have lost their form, losing to clubs they shouldn't have. New England also faces challenges in securing victories, but they managed to defeat Montreal in the last round. The hosts have a solid defense, and showcasing this quality will be crucial for a win in the upcoming game. Both clubs need points, and we believe the opponents' tactics will focus on minimizing mistakes, with the scenario of the first game in the regular season likely to repeat.

Match Prediction for New England Revolution vs Cincinnati: Total Under 3 Goals

Philadelphia Union vs Charlotte

Philadelphia is unbeaten in 11 games. The team is in fantastic form and scores in almost every match. Charlotte, on the other hand, is still trying to find its footing, as the club is dropping too many points. The outcome of the match seems clear: the visitors have been collecting few points away from home this season, while Philadelphia successfully capitalizes on home advantage, having lost only once in nine matches. Our choice is straightforward.

Match Prediction for Philadelphia Union vs Charlotte: Home Win

Austin vs New York Red Bulls

The opponents are in the playoff zone in their respective conferences but lack consistency. The hosts struggle with scoring, while the visitors, despite a four-game winning streak, still raise questions with their play. We expect a meeting of two teams equal in class, where it seems the "Red Bulls" have a slight advantage due to a more stable attack. For Austin, scoring two goals in a match is a significant achievement, whereas New York handles this task with much more confidence.

Match Prediction for Austin vs New York Red Bulls: Visitors Will Not Lose

Chicago Fire vs Nashville

Two aggressive opponents will meet. Both the hosts and the visitors love to play offensively and pay little attention to defense. The clubs have already faced each other this season and scored a total of 9 goals. Currently, both teams are in excellent form and rarely lose. In this match, it's not worth looking for a winner, as there is a more obvious solution.

Match Prediction for Chicago Fire vs Nashville: Total Over 2.5 Goals

Houston Dynamo vs Montreal Impact

The hosts are close to the playoff zone, but their play is still far from stable. Their last home match was lost to Sporting, so they need to make amends. The opponent is ideal for this – Montreal. The Canadian team has long ceased to contend for anything and occupies the last place in their conference. The visitors have not won in 6 matches, so Houston Dynamo is rightfully set as the favorite. We won't be inventing anything new; the home-field advantage should play a role in this game.

Match Prediction for Houston Dynamo vs Montreal Impact: Home Team Victory

Minnesota United vs San Diego Zest

This could be the central match of the game day. The second and third teams of their conference will meet. San Diego is the top club in the league when playing at home, but they falter away. Minnesota, on the other hand, doesn't care where they play. The team is balanced and knows how to make the most even from a minimal number of dangerous moments. We expect an end-to-end game, as both opponents enjoy attacking. It will be tough for Zest to count on points, but it's quite possible that the team will manage to score, thanks to their lethal attack. There is no doubt about Minnesota's finishing ability.

Match Prediction for Minnesota United vs San Diego Zest: Both Teams to Score

Sporting Kansas City vs Dallas

Neighbors in the standings will play. It's very difficult to give anyone the advantage, as both opponents are not in their best form. The clubs' attacks are inconsistent, which is the main issue. We urge you to pay attention to the head-to-head factor: the teams have been exchanging goals for a long time, with the series starting in 2021. This season, one match was played, and it ended with a home victory for Dallas. Under these circumstances, we suggest believing in the continuation of the goal exchange trend, as other options are riskier.

Match Prediction for Sporting Kansas City vs Dallas: Both Teams to Score

Colorado Rapids vs Orlando City

Both opponents have suffered two consecutive defeats, so they both need points. Orlando had a more favorable form, but the victory over Inter Miami was not a step forward; it only caused the club to slow down. Colorado, in turn, is not reaching for the stars this season, alternating between wins and losses. Predicting a winner is difficult, but we anticipate a closed game aimed at minimizing mistakes. Colorado finds it hard to score goals, and we do not expect great feats from them.

Match Prediction for Colorado Rapids vs Orlando City: Home Team's Individual Total Under 1.5 Goals

Real Salt Lake vs DC United

The opponents embarrassed themselves in the last round. Real became the first team to be defeated by Los Angeles Galaxy this season, while DC United lost to Chicago Fire with a score of 1:7. It's hard to say whose form is worse at the moment. Head-to-head meetings also do not provide us with a lot of information, as the last one took place 2 years ago. We will use DC United's away statistics, so how he scored significantly more points away than Real Salt Lake did at home. Let's try to believe in the underdog.

Match Prediction for Real Salt Lake vs DC United: the visitors will not will lose
