The Sounders closed out the regular season 16-9-9 with a +16 goal differential. Their strength has been their backline, allowing a conference-best 35 goals. Seattle, which hasn’t lost since August 31, drew the Houston Dynamo in both Round One games, winning each in penalty kicks.

LA Galaxy vs. Seattle Sounders FC picks and predictions

Prediction

LA Galaxy 1, Seattle Sounders 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET LA GALAXY (-110).

The Sounders didn’t get many results on the road, ending with 7 losses in 17 regular season road matches. They have played twice on the road in the playoffs and have had fewer expected goals than their opponent in both of those, closing out the battle with LAFC with half a many (0.9 to 1.8).

The Galaxy have been throttling opponents and appear unstoppable, outscoring their foes 15-3 in their 3 playoff games. Los Angeles has had double the expected goals of its opponent in 3 straight home games.

Back LA GALAXY (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-105).

The Galaxy have been on fire offensively. That’s easy to see in their results, but against Seattle, it has been the opposite story. Both regular season games went Under 2.5 goals and each actually went Under 1.5. Los Angeles had 1.2 expected goals in those games combined.

Seattle has held a clean sheet in 6 of its last 10 games and has allowed fewer than 1.0 expected goals in 7 of those 10. It has depended on it defense often, scoring more than once in just 2 of its last 7.

Considering those trends and the thought that this level of postseason battle should be more high-stakes and low-scoring, also keeping in mind that this has been bet up from +115, take UNDER 2.5 (-105).

Western Conference semifinal: LAFC vs. Seattle Sounders FC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s LAFC vs. Seattle Sounders FC odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

LAFC welcomes the Seattle Sounders to BMO Stadium for a Western Conference semifinal Saturday. Kickoff is set for 10:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the LAFC vs. Seattle Sounders odds, and make our best MLS picks and predictions.

LAFC finished atop the Western Conference and earned the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, closing the regular season with a conference-best +20 goal differential. It was 11-4-2 at home as well. LAFC, which won its last 5 regular-season games, beat the Vancouver Whitecaps in a best-of-3 Round 1 series, winning 1-0 in Game 3 Nov. 8 to advance.

The Seattle Sounders finished fourth in the West and were among 6 teams in the MLS with a +16 goal differential or better — the Sounders scored 51 goals and surrendered 35. Seattle was among the hottest teams to close the regular season, ending the last few months with an 11-2-2 record. It drew the Houston Dynamo in back-to-back games in Round 1 — 0-0 in Game the opener and 1-1 in Game 2 — but advanced by winning both matches in penalty kicks.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

LAFC vs. Seattle Sounders FC picks and predictions

Prediction

Seattle Sounders 1, LAFC 1 (Sounders advance in penalty kicks)

Moneyline (ML)

BET DRAW (+240).

The Sounders have been performing at a high level on the road. They have had more expected goals than their opponent in 3 of their last 4 games. Seattle has drawn 3 straight matches as well, so it has been playing at the level of its opponent.

LAFC hasn’t drawn since the middle of September, but it has been within 0.5 expected goals of its opponent in 5 straight. In simpler terms, LAFC isn’t blowing out opponents like the best team in the West should although it has consistently won.

With those trends in mind, BACK DRAW (+240).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-135).

LAFC has held its opponent scoreless in 3 of its last 7 games. It has scored 1 goal or fewer in 2 straight matchets and has had 1.2 or fewer expected goals in 3 of its last 5 outings.

Seattle has gone Under this total in 4 straight and in 5 of its last 6. The Sounders have held their opponent scoreless in 4 of their last 6 and have held their opponent to 1 or fewer in 9 of their last 10.

Put it all together and BACK UNDER 2.5 (-135).

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (+240) is a tremendous play at plus-money on the road. As mentioned above, Austin FC has been held scoreless in four of its previous five matches.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (-110) is a slam-dunk play. Both teams are banged up and missing key members. Seattle will also be without the Roldan Brothers, as Cristian Roldan is playing for the USMNT and Alex Roldan is playing for El Salvador in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Scoring will be at a premium just like the last time these squads played.

Seattle Sounders FC at Minnesota United FC odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Seattle Sounders FC at Minnesota United FC odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

In Sunday’s MLS action, Seattle Sounders FC (8 wins, 0 losses, 5 draws) and the Minnesota United FC (4-5-3) in a 2 p.m. ET kickoff at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minn. The match is televised on ESPN. Below, we preview the Seattle Sounders FC vs. Minnesota United FC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

The Sounders haven’t been bothered by going on the road, posting a 3-0-2 mark in five games away from home. They defeated Minnesota April 16, 4-0, in their home opener.

Minnesota has posted a 4-1-3 mark across the last eight outings after starting the season 0-4-0. It’s also unbeaten with three victories in the last four at Allianz Field.

Prediction

Seattle Sounders FC 1, Minnesota United FC 1

Money line (ML)

The Seattle Sounders are a very tempting play at plus money, but they have several players injured. Also, Alex Roldan is away from the team to play with El Salvador in the CONCACAF Gold Cup while his brother Cristian Roldan plays for the USMNT. Meanwhile, Minnesota United FC is without Dayne St. Clair, who is playing for Canada at the Gold Cup.

The best play – and the best value – is rolling with the DRAW (+270) for a chance to nearly triple up.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+115) is the “lean” at plus money. Minnesota United FC has cashed the Under 2.5 goals in seven of their last eight MLS matches, and Seattle has had a total of two goals in each of its last two matches overall.

Houston Dynamo at Seattle Sounders odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s Houston Dynamo at Seattle Sounders odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Seattle Sounders (7 wins, 0 losses, 5 draws) host the Houston Dynamo (3-3-6) Wednesday at Lumen Field. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Houston Dynamo vs. Seattle Sounders odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

The Sounders, as you can tell by their record, are coming in red hot. They’re the only team in MLS without a loss on the season. However, they lost an impactful veteran in F Will Bruin to a torn meniscus last week.

Surprisingly, the Sounders played to a draw in each their last two games. They have 4 wins and 3 draws at home.

The Dynamo are coming off a draw with one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference in FC Cincinnati, and they have yet to win on the road.

Prediction

Seattle Sounders 2, Houston Dynamo 0

Money line (ML)

BET on the SOUNDERS (-145).

There really isn’t another way to play this. While they’ve struggled against weak teams, tying Austin FC and the Vancouver Whitecaps, I’d expect them to take of business Wednesday.

With F Raul Ruidiaz leading the way, Seattle should be able to break through a weak Houston defense. The Sounders don’t give up many goals, while the Dynamo have the fourth-most goals allowed in the Western Conference.

I’d be shocked if the Sounders couldn’t break down Houston’s back line, even without Bruin.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the UNDER 2.5 (+115) as a plus-money bet on the total for MLS typically feels like a good deal. The Sounders have given up just 8 goals through 12 games and have typically dictated the pace of the game.

The Under hit in five of the last eight games for Seattle and in three of the last four for Houston.

The Dynamo have scored 16 goals and given up 17 through 12 matches. While their games typically run higher scoring, expect the Under to hit if Seattle dictates the pace as expected.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Seattle Sounders FC preview, odds and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Seattle Sounders FC odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

In Saturday’s MLS action, the Vancouver Whitecaps FC (2 wins, 6 losses, 1 draw) visits Seattle Sounders FC (7-0-3) for a 9 p.m. ET kickoff at Lumen Field. The match is televised on ESPN+. Below, we preview the Vancouver Whitecaps FC vs. Seattle Sounders FC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

Vancouver is on a five-match skid, including a 2-1 setback against the Los Angeles Galaxy Wednesday at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah – its temporary home. The Whitecaps have been outscored 11-3 during the losing streak.

First-place Seattle cobbled together a 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake Wednesday night in its second straight 2-1 victory after a pair of draws against Atlanta United and Austin FC.

Prediction

Seattle Sounders FC 2, Vancouver Whitecaps FC 0

Money line (ML)

There is just no way to justify playing the Seattle Sounders FC (-300) straight up as they will cost you three times your potential return.

AVOID, and instead look to the spread, taking SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC -1 (+100) at even money.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+105) is a solid wager. Seattle has kept a clean sheet in four of its six home matches in the Emerald City. Meanwhile, Vancouver is skidding hard, dropping five in a row, and they have a total of three goals during the slide.

Prediction

Seattle 2, FC Dallas 1

Money line (ML)

SEATTLE (-154) is the play here against FC Dallas (+400), which it did not play during the regular season due to COVID-19 restrictions and schedule changes. The Sounders are unbeaten in their past 13 at home against FC Dallas across all competitions.

The Sounders won 3-1 over LAFC in Round One of the playoffs. They have managed six wins, one draw and no losses across the past seven at home since a loss to the Portland Timbers Sept. 6.

FC Dallas stunned Portland on penalty kicks in Round One, including a game-tying goal in stoppage time to force overtime. Dallas still has just one win in regular time in the past six on the road.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-162) is the way to go in this battle. FC Dallas has averaged 2.44 goals per match across its past nine road outings. Meanwhile, Seattle is averaging 4.0 goals per match across the past 11 home contests. We might not see that many goals, but at least three shouldn’t be a stretch.

Prediction

LAFC 3, Seattle 2

Money line (ML)

LAFC (+225) in regular time is what I am rolling with in this late-night match Tuesday. Seattle (+110) did not play well down the stretch, posting just two wins, two losses and three draws in its final seven matches, including a 3-1 loss at LAFC Oct. 12.

LAFC was actually the hotter side in the final days of the season, going 2-1-1 across the final four, while going 5-3-1 over the final nine.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 3.5 (+115) is a strong wager here, especially at plus-money. LAFC is a bunch which can score, seeing a total of 59 goals over the past 16 matches, or 3.69 goals per match. Seattle also saw a total of 49 goals in the final 15 matches, or an average of 3.3 goals per match. Look for plenty of fireworks here.

Colorado vs. Seattle: MLS odds, prediction, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 7:50 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Seattle Sounders FC 2, Colorado Rapids 1

Money line (ML)

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (+125) tops the table, and they take it on the road to face a rather middling Colorado Rapids (+190) side, which is an underdog on their own home pitch. Colorado sits with an even goal differential through 15 matches, while Seattle is tops in the Western Conference with a plus-20 goal differential, and second in the MLS only to the high-flying Philadelphia Union (plus-23).

Seattle is unbeaten in seven of its past eight matches against Colorado, and playing in the home of the Rapids hasn’t been a problem recently. Seattle is 3-1 across the past four trips to Colorado, outscoring the Rapids by a 6-4 count. Look for the Sounders to head back to the Pacific Northwest with three more points.

For fun, take SEATTLE SOUNDERS (-129) to score the first goal of this match, as it’s a pretty “sound” bet.

New to sports betting? A winning $12.90 bet on Seattle Sounders FC returns $10, while a winning $10 bet on Colorado Rapids fetches a profit of $19. A $10 bet on a draw (+280) returns a profit of $28.

Over/Under (O/U)

The primary line is set at 2.5 (O: -182, O: +135), and you shouldn’t expect end-to-end action. However, we have had at least three goals in four of the last six head-to-head meetings. We have also had at least three goals in two of the past three in Commerce City, and four of the past six meetings in Colorado. OVER 2.5 (-182) is the play, although it’s a bit expensive.
