Betting On FC Cincinnati

• 1XBetSpread: -0.5
• 1XBet Moneyline: 2.10
• 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5

Cincinnati have beaten Philadelphia in each of their last three meetings at TQL Stadium, scoring four goals in two of those games. However, their momentum was disrupted during the Leagues Cup break, where they suffered defeats to Juárez and Chivas.

In MLS, results have also dipped, with back-to-back losses to Charlotte and New York City. Adding to their concerns, defensive absentees Robinson and Hadebe leave them more vulnerable at the back.

Betting On Philadelphia Union

• 1XBet Spread: +0.5
• 1XBet Moneyline: 3.00
• 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5

The Union come into this game fresh from a commanding 4-0 win over Chicago Fire, with Babiro, Wagner, Jean Jacques, and star striker Milan Iloski all on the scoresheet. While dominant at Subaru Park, their away form remains a weakness. They are winless in their last four road trips despite maintaining a solid defensive record.

Philadelphia will look to tighten up at the back while leaning on their attacking firepower to take advantage of Cincinnati’s weakened defense.

MatchPlug Prediction on FC Cincinnati vs Philadelphia Union

Head-to-head history between these sides has often produced goals, with at least one team scoring four in their past six meetings. Both teams average double-digit shots per game, suggesting attacking chances will come freely again.

Cincinnati’s defensive issues combined with Philadelphia’s attacking form point toward an open contest.

Final Prediction: FC Cincinnati Over/Under

Betting Preview for St. Louis vs Houston Dynamo

• Venue: CITYPARK
• Date: Saturday, August 30th, 2025
• Time: 01:30 WAT
• Teams to play: St. Louis City vs Houston Dynamo
• Odds as provided by 1XBet

Betting On St. Louis City

• 1XBet Spread: -0.5
• 1XBet Moneyline: 2.10
• 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5

St. Louis come into this fixture on the back of a 3-2 defeat away to Vancouver Whitecaps. Eduard Lowen and Joao Klauss were on target, but they conceded a late penalty to lose in stoppage time.

Despite their struggles in the table, CITYPARK has seen goals flow. Their last eight home games have all produced both teams scoring and at least three total goals, showing they remain dangerous in front of their fans. With Houston’s poor record in this stadium, St. Louis will see this as a chance to pick up points.

Betting On Houston Dynamo

• 1XBet Spread: +0.5
• 1XBet Moneyline: 3.40
• 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5

Houston Dynamo also suffered defeat last time out, losing 2-1 at home to San Jose Earthquakes. Cristian Arango and Preston Judd found the net for the visitors before Antonio Carlos pulled one back.

Ben Olsen’s side sits 12th in the Western Conference with 29 points from 27 games. Their away form continues to be a major issue, and they have lost on all three of their visits to CITYPARK, a worrying trend ahead of this encounter.

MatchPlug Prediction on St. Louis vs Houston Dynamo

Both teams are inconsistent, but St. Louis have been strong at home when it comes to goals and attacking threat. Houston’s away struggles and poor record at CITYPARK make them vulnerable once again.

Final Prediction: St. Louis City To Win 

MLS action continues at Gillette Stadium on Saturday, August 30th, as the New England Revolution host Charlotte. Read our preview for the New England Revolution vs Charlotte.

The Revs are struggling in the lower half of the Eastern Conference, while Charlotte are enjoying a strong run of form and pushing for a top playoff spot.

• Venue: Gillette Stadium
• Date: Saturday, August 30th, 2025
• Time: 19:30

• Odds as provided by 1XBet

Betting On New England Revolution

• 1XBet Spread: +0.5
• 1XBet Moneyline: 2.75
• 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5

The Revs picked up a much-needed 2-1 away win over Columbus Crew last weekend, but their wider form remains poor. With just two wins in their last 12 MLS outings and four defeats in their last five at home, consistency is a major issue. Defensive frailties also persist, with New England conceding at least two goals in six of their last seven matches at Gillette Stadium.

Betting On Charlotte

• 1XBet Spread: -0.5
• 1XBet Moneyline: 2.40
• 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5

Charlotte head into this match as one of the league’s form sides, sitting fourth in the Eastern Conference with 47 points. They beat New York Red Bulls 1-0 last time out, extending their clean sheet streak to four straight games. Their defense has been the backbone of their success, and they will aim to frustrate a shaky Revolution attack on the road.

MatchPlug Prediction on New England Revolution vs Charlotte

New England’s home struggles make them difficult to back, especially against a Charlotte side with momentum and defensive solidity. The visitors’ ability to grind out results could prove decisive.

Final Prediction: Charlotte Over/Under

Austin FC return to Q2 Stadium on Saturday night for a Western Conference battle against San Jose Earthquakes. Here’s the preview of the Austin FC vs San Jose Earthquakes.

With both teams still searching for consistency as the playoff race heats up, this promises to be a closely fought encounter.

MatchPlug brings you the best betting insights, odds, and analysis.

Betting Preview for Austin FC vs San Jose Earthquakes

• Venue: Q2 Stadium
• Date: Saturday, August 30th, 2025
• Time: 20:30

• Odds as provided by 1XBet

Betting On Austin FC

• 1XBet Spread: -0.5
• 1XBet Moneyline: 1.95
• 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5

Austin FC have been difficult to beat at Q2 Stadium, avoiding defeat in 25 of their last 31 MLS home matches. They’ve drawn seven of their most recent 14 games at the venue, underlining a mix of resilience and occasional frustration in front of their fans.

Josh Wolff’s men rely on making their home ground a fortress, and with the playoff picture tightening, they will view this as a chance to pick up crucial points. Expect them to dominate possession and test San Jose’s shaky backline.

Betting On San Jose Earthquakes

• 1XBet Spread: +0.5
• 1XBet Moneyline: 3.20
• 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5

The Earthquakes’ inconsistency remains their biggest issue. In their last six league games, they’ve won twice, drawn once, and lost three times, conceding 1.83 goals per match while scoring 1.67.

Their away form has been worrying, with defeats in over half of their last 15 trips and no win in eight of their last 10 away outings. Defensive frailties have too often left them exposed, though Martínez’s scoring form ensures they carry a threat going forward.

MatchPlug Prediction on Austin FC vs San Jose Earthquakes

Austin FC’s strong home record meets a San Jose side that struggles on the road. While the hosts are resilient, they have shared points too often, and the Earthquakes have just enough firepower to find the net.

This clash feels set for another draw, with both teams likely to score but neither able to land the knockout blow.
