Predictions for the 13th round of MLS, May 15

DC United vs New York City

The hosts are not in the best form: they lost their last match to the underdog, Toronto. The team shows inconsistent play, and the defense often falters. New York City, on the other hand, is not much different from its opponent: the club can defeat any competitor but can also lose. In head-to-head meetings, the teams have low scoring, and throughout the season, both have modest statistics. We'll bet on the total.

Match Prediction for DC United – New York City: total under 3 goals

Montreal Impact vs Columbus Crew

The Canadian club finally secured their first win of the season: they defeated New York City in the last round. However, problems remain. The club still does not look cohesive. Columbus Crew, on the other hand, is in excellent form and has only lost to Inter Miami this season. In head-to-head encounters, the visitors have the upper hand: Columbus Crew has won the last four meetings. There is a high probability that the trend will continue, as the level of football at the moment is incomparable.

Match Prediction for Montreal Impact – Columbus Crew: victory for the visitors

Orlando City vs Charlotte

The opponents have approximately the same number of points but are in completely different forms. Orlando City has not lost in 10 matches, while Charlotte has stalled after a successful start and lost the last three MLS matches. The battle will be interesting as both clubs have high scoring rates this season. However, head-to-head matches rarely result in an abundance of goals. It's possible that the score difference will be minimal. We will take the total.

Match Prediction for Orlando City – Charlotte: total under 2.5 goals

Philadelphia Union vs Los Angeles Galaxy

A game between teams pursuing different objectives. The hosts are fighting for the top spot in the table, while the visitors are trying to at least consistently earn points. Philadelphia is hard to stop – only a very good attack can do that, which Los Angeles lacks. The Galaxy hasn't scored in two matches and lost the last one 0-7. If Philadelphia drops points in this match, it would be a big upset.

Match Prediction for Philadelphia Union – Los Angeles Galaxy: victory for the hosts

Toronto vs Cincinnati

A meeting between an underdog and the leader of the Eastern Conference. Toronto has started winning but not consistently. The team struggles to score goals. Cincinnati, on the other hand, is in great shape at the moment. The club has lost only one match in the last eight and demonstrates balanced football. The bookmaker offers quite high odds on the visitors, which is strange, as there are no injuries, and In head-to-head encounters, Toronto last won back in 2021. Our choice is obvious.

Match Prediction for Toronto vs Cincinnati: Away Team Victory

Houston Dynamo vs Minnesota United

The hosts are a model of inconsistency: the team itself doesn't know what kind of football it plays. The attack can score many goals in one match, and completely fail in the next. The playoffs are slipping further away from the team. The upcoming match will be tough: Minnesota United, who have no issues collecting points, will be visiting. The club confidently defeated Inter Miami in the last round, and few can stop their attack right now. We expect a high-paced encounter, where Houston Dynamo can put up a fight thanks to their fans. We'll take an option with a moderate odds.

Match Prediction for Houston Dynamo vs Minnesota United: Away Team Will Not Lose

Nashville vs New York Red Bulls

Opponents with a similar style of play will meet. Both clubs focus on attack, but it doesn't always work, especially against strong teams. Both teams won in the last round, but while Nashville did it routinely, New York humiliated Los Angeles Galaxy (score 7:0). It seems the head-to-head should be high-scoring, but the clubs rarely play over in their encounters, almost always scoring no more than 2 goals combined. There's no point in coming up with another betting option.

Match Prediction for Nashville vs New York Red Bulls: Total Under 2.5 Goals

St. Louis City vs Sporting Kansas City

A meeting of the Western Conference underdogs, who still don't quite understand what they're doing on the field. The hosts have colossal problems converting their chances, while the visitors can't play defense. The opponents have already played one match this season, with Sporting Kansas City celebrating victory. Again, there are too many problems in the teams, and one shouldn't expect a high-scoring game. We urge you to pay attention to the total for the hosts, as St. Louis has recently struggled to score more than 1 goal per match.

Match Prediction for St. Louis City vs Sporting Kansas City: Home Team's Individual Total Under 1.5 Goals

Austin vs Atlanta United

The hosts have stalled after a relatively successful start: 4 losses in MLS in the last 5 games. Austin can't seem to get their attack working, and it shows, as the defense collapses, and strong opponents easily take points. The team is already in 8th place in the table, and it seems the slump will continue. Atlanta, on the other hand, is far from its usual level and concedes a lot: the club hasn't had such a weak defense in a long time. Don't expect a big of goals, especially from the visitors, they will have to face fierce resistance.

Match Prediction for Austin vs Atlanta United: Individual Total for Visitors Under 1.5 Goals

Real Salt Lake vs Portland Timbers

The hosts are a typical MLS club. They can challenge any top team and at the same time lose to an underdog. Real Salt Lake has many issues that are difficult to consolidate. If the team wants to make the playoffs, something needs to change. On the other hand, the opponent has no problems, or they simply do not affect the results. Portland Timbers are showing excellent football, much to their own surprise. Perhaps this is because they haven't faced top-tier teams yet. Our choice will be quite simple – both teams know how to score and play poorly in defense. We expect goals from each team.

Match Prediction for Real Salt Lake vs Portland Timbers: Both Teams to Score

Los Angeles vs Seattle Sounders

Neighbors in the standings will play, both of whom have not lost in 5 matches. The opponents feel great on the field, promising us a beautiful contest. One match between them has already taken place this season: Seattle celebrated victory in it. The teams score a lot, and the upcoming game should not be an exception, with head-to-head encounters being an additional factor. We believe the over will be hit.

Match Prediction for Los Angeles vs Seattle Sounders: Total Over 2.5 Goals

San Diego Zest vs Colorado Rapids

The hosts are newcomers this season. The club's results are surprising: San Diego is currently in 4th place in the standings. However, problems are evident, with the main one being a lack of balance. The team often lacks a backup plan for the game, so if something goes wrong, San Diego usually cannot get back into the match. Colorado has similar issues, but the club won the head-to-head match in April this year. We expect a high-scoring game, as the opponents are not capable of anything else. An exchange of goals is quite likely.

Match Prediction for San Diego Zest vs Colorado Rapids: Both Teams to Score

San Jose Earthquakes vs Inter Miami

The hosts rarely leave the field without conceding a goal – this fact is their main problem. San Jose has one of the worst defenses in the league, and only an effective attack helps them earn points. The opponent is serious – Inter Miami. Messi and company lost to Minnesota in the last round and will surely be highly motivated for the upcoming match. The matchup is interesting, and points are extremely important for the clubs. It is possible that the focus will be on minimizing errors on their half. Inter Miami tries to play cautiously on the road.

Match Prediction for San Jose Earthquakes vs Inter Miami: total under 3.5 goals
