The last time Seattle was at Lume Field, they lost 2-0 to the Galaxy. That was their first shutout loss at home in the 2024 regular season, just one fewer than last year.

Los Angeles has three MLS wins on the road this season, one more than they had in 2023. And with a victory today, they could exceed their road points from the last campaign (12). LA is undefeated when tied or ahead at the interval this year, and has secured five points when behind in the second half. MatchPlug Prediction For Seattle Sounders VS Los Angeles Galaxy  The Sounders are getting some of their key midfield players back. Their struggling attack unit should be in full force after a solid performance against one of the top defensive units in the MLS over the past few seasons in Philadelphia.

Shockingly, their home form has been one of the weaker areas of their performance this season, with Vancouver dropping points in three of their five league matches at BC Place. The Whitecaps are the only club in the MLS that has found the back of the net in all their matches played in MLS this season. They are tied for the third-most goals scored in the Western Conference (18). Vancouver has a 100% record versus Austin at the BC Place Stadium, delivering multiple times in all those home matches. Betting On Austin FC 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 5.1 BetMGM Spread: – BetMGM Over/Under: Under 2.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 5.00 Austin FC suddenly transformed from a club that seemed to be heading down a familiar losing path at the start of the year, to one that has been gathering wins with its razor-sharp defence. Austin went winless in their first five games of the 2024 regular season but have lost just one of their last five encounters since then. They conceded only once in their previous three matches. Only three of their 14 goals scored over this domestic campaign have happened in the opening half, two of which were last weekend against the Los Angeles Galaxy. Austin has won once at home against the Whitecaps (3-0 in 2022). This was the same year they won for the first time on Canadian soil, beating CF Montreal 1-0 at Saputo Stadium. MatchPlug Prediction For Vancouver Whitecaps VS Austin FC Having Andras Cubas back should give the Whitecaps some stability in the midfield, and enable them to defeat Austin. Cubas’ ability to shoot balls is one of the best in the league, and analysts believe this will allow Vancouver’s powerful attack to have an edge.  Final Prediction: Vancouver Whitecaps Moneyline.

wiggins becomes first first rounder to sign contract

Wiggins becomes first first-rounder from 2024 draft to sign contract

The Baltimore Ravens just became the first team to sign a first-round pick from the 2024 NFL Draft, and it was Nate Wiggins.  Baltimore signed cornerback Nate Wiggins to his rookie deal on Thursday, per the league transaction wire. Wiggins, the No. 30 overall pick out of Clemson, was the third CB off the board last week and signed on the line to join a secondary long known for its lockdown capabilities. The Raven’s defence ranked first in scoring overall last campaign, sixth in yards permitted through the air and second in passing touchdowns conceded.   Nate brings a remarkable dash of speed to a secondary group headed by Marlon Humphrey, Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams. His 4.28 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine was top at his position. Wiggins made first-team All-ACC in his final year at Clemson and led the Tigers in passes defended his last two seasons, with 12 and nine, respectively.  Although Wiggins logged only three interceptions in his career, he took two back for scores. However, he was not the only rookie Baltimore signed on Thursday. Baltimore signed offensive tackle Roger Rosengarten (No. 62 overall), CB T.J. Tampa (No. 130) and safety Kane Sanoussi (No. 250). All four players will join the other incoming teammates at the Reaven’s rookie minicamp from May 3-5.

lionel messi named mls player of the month

Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi named MLS Player of the Month

After a record run of form with Inter Miami CF, Lionel Messi has received the award for MLS Player of the Month for April 2024.  The Argentine player No. 10 had six goals and four assists (10 goal contributions) in April despite playing only in four matches. This outstanding offensive output guided Miami to a 3W-0L-1D record and the Supporters’ Shield lead. The club also paced MLS in points per game (1.91), goals scored (26) and goal differential (+10). Out of the 12 goals Miami scored in April, Messi contributed to 10 of them, scoring game-winners against Nashville SC (April 20) and the New England Revolution (April 27). Additionally, he became the first player in MLS history to record multiple goal contributions in five successive matches. Messi’s 16 goal contributions (9g/7a) after his first seven matches for Miami in the 2024 season are the most ever scored. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner surpasses record holders Thierry Henry (13 in 2012) and Carlos Vela (13 in 2019). Messi becomes Miami’s second Player of the Month of the 2024 season after fellow FC Barcelona legend Luis Suárez received the award for February/March. He is now a 10-time Player of the Month winner. This is in addition to his eight with Barcelona and one with Paris Saint-Germain to add to his latest recognition. Messi and Inter Miami come home this Saturday to host the New York Red Bulls in a battle of Eastern Conference giants.  The MLS Player of the Month is voted upon by a panel of select national media members in a process overseen by MLS Communications.
