See: MLS Matchday 4 Prediction: Houston Dynamo VS Austin FC Predictions Predictions and Betting Preview for New England Revolution Vs Nashville FC  Venue: Gillette Stadium, Massachusetts When: Saturday, March 18th, 2023 Time: 16:30 GMT Teams to play: New England and Nashville. MLS Picks: TOTAL OVER 2.5 Odds provided by 1XBet and BetMGM. Betting On New England Revolution 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.395 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 2.5 Bet MGM Moneyline: 2.35 The New England Revolution got off the season with a perfect start. They registered two significant victories which placed them in a good position, however, they met the champions and lost their fire. Last game, they suffered a 4-10 defeat at the hands of LAFC. No doubt, that loss dampened their spirits, as it was the first time they played against a strong team and emerged from the game as losers. However, losing to Los Angeles wasn’t the most embarrassing part of the game: they shot just once and didn’t come up with any threatening moves. Furthermore, their defense failed the team, as New England was attacked at goal 18 times and, if not for the intervention of Dorde Petrovice, who made some great saves, they would have suffered a bigger loss. Possible Lineup (4-3-2-1): Dorde Petrovic; Brandon Bye, Henry Kessler, Dave Romney, DeJuan Jones; Latif Blessing, Matt Polster, Noel Buck; Gustavo Bou; Dylan Borrero, Bobby Wood. Betting On Nashville FC: 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.965 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 2.5 Bet MGM Moneyline: 2.95 Nashville FC remains unbeaten this season, spotting two wins and one draw against the New York Red Bulls. The team has a great performance and is practical because they make things easy for everyone. Nashville is described as cold and meticulous, with two victories that mirror each other. When playing NYFC, Nashville won 2-0, and they scored in the first half, dictating the pace of the game. Additionally, New York FC’s desperation to equalize the scores, caused Nashville to score the second goal in the 80th minute. The last game with Montreal was similar: they scored in the 37th minute and didn’t score a second goal until the 89th minute. Whenever Nashville FC is in the lead, it is difficult to stop them. Possible Lineup: (4-2-3-1): Joe Willis; Shaq Moore, Walker Zimmerman, Jack Maher, Daniel Lovitz; San Davis, Dax McCarthy, Fafa Picault, Hany Mukhtar, Jacob Shaffelburg, Teal Bunbury. MatchPlug Prediction New England is a little shaken up, while their opponent Nashville stays pragmatic and confident.  Experts believe that Nashville FC will win the New England Revolution in a way, New England won’t recover from or equalize.  More From MLS: MLS Matchday 4 Prediction: FC Dallas VS Sporting Kansas City Predictions

MLS Matchday 3 Prediction: Philadelphia Union VS Chicago Fire Predictions

As the MLS picks up pace, it keeps getting better. Philadelphia Union VS Chicago Fire is one of the interesting matches to come out of this progress. It holds on matchday 3 between two old soccer acquaintances in the United States. Philadelphia started on the right foot by scoring a home win in their first game of the 2023 season but fumbled this win by losing to Inter Miami. Chicago Fire on the other hand has a draw and intends to impress in their second match. Without wasting any more time, MatchPlug brings the Best Betting Tips Today and MLS Predictions for the Union and Fire match. We have analysis and other important information about the match too. Predictions and Betting Preview for Philadelphia Union VS Chicago Fire  Venue: Subaru Park, Chester, Pennsylvania When: Saturday, March 11th, 2023 Time: 16:30 GMT Teams to play: Philadelphia Union and Chicago Fire MLS Picks: OVER 2.5 Odds as provided by 1XBet and BetMGM. Betting On The Philadelphia Union SC 1XBet Spread: – 1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.46 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 2.5 Bet MGM Moneyline: 1.44 Coached by Jim Curtin, the Philadelphia Union won fans over on the first MLS day with a 4-1 victory over Columbus Crew. But, in their last match with Inter Miami, they lost by a score of 2-0.  In spite of the result, the match was even, there were certain yellow cards, and Corentin Jean scored a goal first. This game with Chicago Fire is a chance for the Union to win its second game at home and start building on a season par with the last one, where it finished in first place in the Eastern Conference. Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Andre Blake; Olivier Mbaizo, Jakob Glesnes, Jack Elliot, Kai Wagner; Alejandro Bedoya, José Martínez, Leon Flach, Daniel Gazdag; Mikael Uhre, Julián Carranza. Betting On Chicago Fire 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 6.35 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 2.5 Bet MGM Moneyline: 6.25 The visiting team enters Philadelphia Union VS Chicago Fire, after a low-key start to the 2023 season. In their first match against New York City Football Club, Chicago drew 1-1 at home. They opened the scoring because of defensive errors on Gabriel Pereira’s accuracy. Later, Fabian Herbes scored from outside the box to tie the score. However, the team still couldn’t get on top of the scoreboard. This new opportunity is essential for the actualization of Ezra Hendrickson’s plan which incorporates a two-year process with almost the same group of players, thereby developing chemistry and an effective play style. Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Spencer Richey, Arnaud Souquet, Carlos Terán, Rafael Czichos, Miguel Navarro; Ían Torres, Federico Navarro, Brian Gutiérrez, Xherdan Shaqiri, Chris Mueller; Kacper Przybylko. MatchPlug Prediction For the match between Philadelphia Union and Chicago Fire,  Philadelphia will collect all the points.  They’ve had a good start home, where they left a warm feeling. They lost to Inter Miami but showed they had what it takes to have a great MLS season. Chicago often plays well and is strong at home. Chicago still needs to find their rhythm and didn’t inspire confidence in their debut against New York City. Final Prediction: Philadelphia Union wins by 2 goals.

MLS Matchday 3 Prediction: Toronto FC VS Columbus Crew Predictions

Toronto FC VS Columbus Crew is another game happening on matchday 3 of the 2023 MLS campaign, Saturday, March 11.  These teams have not had a good start to the season, and they won’t want to be defeated for the second game in a row. MatchPlug has the Best Betting Tips Today and MLS Predictions for Toronto and Columbus Crew. We have predictions and odds for other MLS matchday 3 matches you can find below this article. Related Preview: MLS Matchday 3 Prediction: DC United VS Orlando City Predictions Predictions and Betting Preview for Toronto FC VS Columbus Crew  Venue: BMO Field, Toronto, Ontario When: Saturday, March 11th, 2023 Time: 16:30 GMT Teams to play: Toronto FC and Columbus Crew. MLS Picks: MONEYLINE 2.06 Odds as provided by 1XBet and BetMGM. Betting On Toronto FC 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.06 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 2.5 Bet MGM Moneyline: 2.05 Toronto FC comes into matchday 3 hoping for their first win of the year. They lost 3-2 in the opening-day match against DC United, where they gave up two goals in stoppage time. Additionally, they drew 1-1 in their visit to Atlanta United on the last matchday after blowing their leverage. This is Toronto’s first home game of the season, a setup where they haven’t done very well lately, winning only two of their last 9 MLS appearances and most of their recent matches against Columbus Crew. If Toronto should have a positive outcome tomorrow it will be thanks to Federico Bernardeschi who scored in the first two games, twice after the break. Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Sean Johnson; Richie Laryea, Matt Hedges, Sigurd Rosted, Raoul Pedretta; Michael Bradley, Mark-Anthony Kaye; Brandon Servania, Federico Bernardeschi, Jonathan Osorio; Adama Diomande. Betting On Columbus Crew 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 3.36 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 2.5 Bet MGM Moneyline: 3.30 Columbus Crew on the other hand came back from a 4-1 loss to Philadelphia Union on Matchday 1, by winning 2-0 over DC United in their last game, thanks to Lucas Zelarayan’s first-half brace. Besides the three points, the victory would have been satisfying for Wilfried Nancy’s defense, which broke a losing streak where they lost seven consecutive games, giving up goals. But, Crew’s offense has brought the team succour, as this was their 8th game in a row with a goal. They will now have a harder time securing a series of victories, which they haven’t done since the end of the 2021 campaign and the start of the 2022 season. To pull this off, they will have to break the jinx of losing their last eight home games. Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Eloy Room; Steven Moreira, Milos Degenek, Philip Quinton; Mohammed Farsi, Darlington Nagbe, Aidan Morris, Yaw Yeboah, Alexandru Matan, Cucho Hernandez; Lucas Zelarayan. MatchPlug Prediction Toronto FC showed promise in their early matches, with a good offense headed by Bernardeschi; but their poor defense is their Achilles Heel. This is a problem that Columbus Crew who also gave up goals, suffers from too. Four of the past 5 league meetings between these clubs scored three points. Taking account of the defensive shortcomings of Toronto and Columbus, and their good offensive play, fans can expect a high-scoring match, as the trend will continue.Final Prediction: Toronto Moneyline and Over.

MLS 2023: What’s new? Soccer returns to St. Louis, old faces in new places, another playoff shake-up

Another MLS season has arrived and as usual, it is accompanied by changes. St. Louis City SC will make its debut. Players and managers made some off-season moves too. And a new campaign will not be complete if the league does not make any head-scratching moves for MLS 2023. These are the new developments as the MLS’ 28th season begins. St. Louis  MLS has not put forward the wrong foot in picking expansion markets. Each team has been met with considerable excitement and the national footprint looks robust now that 29 teams have accepted St. Louis City, the newest addition. When it comes to St. Louis, a bit of  “What took you so long?” enters the discussion. The City’s passion for soccer runs deep, with a booming grassroots soccer scene that has led many players to U.S. national teams dating back to the mid-20th century, with Becky Sauerbrunn and Tim Ream being two of the most recent. Guaranteed, it takes more than a passion for soccer to build an MLS team. Wealthy investors including a stadium are often needed to build up and run a team, and St. Louis had some near misses in terms of finding owners that will get it an MLS team. However, with an investor group headed by Carolyn Kindle, that has now been accomplished. And Citypark’s team’s 22,000-seater stadium is up and running from the get-go should help the organization start functioning. The inaugural season always comes with hiccups. Lutz Pfannenstiel the sporting director after featuring over 20 clubs in his playing career, put together a side void of big names, leaving that task to Bradley Carnell New York Red Bulls assistant (an former interim manager) to turn SLC into a cohesive unit. On that note, it feels right to have a top-flight team in the cradle of American soccer. View the official MLS 2023 Season Schedule. Old names, new places  The MLS off-season is when change-of-address forms are in demand, and so are moving companies, particularly with the League’s limited free agency form as part of the landscape. There are some players who wore different jerseys that will require some double-takes. Witnessing 2018 MLS MVP Josef Martinez in the Inter Miami CF colours will be hard to digest especially since he had a good spell at Atlanta United. The same sentiments will follow Aaron Long, who transferred from New York Red Bulls to LAFC.  Sean Johnson on his own part will try to change the fate of Toronto FC after leading New York City FC to an MLS Cup in 2021.  However, what could be described as the most surprising moves happened within the managerial ranks. Wilfred Nancy turned an impressive campaign with CF Montréal into a move to the Columbus Crew, breaking free from Joey Saputo’s overbearing ownership. Nancy was replaced with Hernan Losada, who was fired by D.C. Losada last season due to his obsessive methods regarding weight, amongst other things, he imposed on players.  Losada will have to make the best out of a bad situation for the MLS 2023 with CFM after its roster was basically stripped. On D.C. United, Ben Olsen had moved to Houston Dynamo as a way to bring back the team’s glory days of the mid-2000s, when they won consecutive MLS Cups in 2006 and 2007. Former FC Dallas manager Luchi Gonzalez joined the San Jose Earthquakes after spending the last few years in the U.S. men’s national team setup. And some brand new faces, too MLS mines the international transfer market for reinforcements, and with one or two exceptions, they did not keep too much in their pockets. However this could change if Lionel Messi goes ahead to sign with Inter Miami, but other than this, most of the newcomers are of a strategic variety. One team that did not make too many financial moves was the Portland Timbers, who spent a $10 million transfer fee on FC Midtjylland midfielder Evander. The Brazilian has been compared to MVP Hany Mukhtar of the Nashville SC. If he can live up to Mukhtar’s influence, it could boost the Timbers’ chances of getting back into the postseason. Other notable additions for the MLS 2023 season are D.C. United’s Mateusz Klich a former player for Leeds United, including ex-Racing Club midfielder Enzo Copetti, who will join Charlotte FC. Copetti will be assisted by Ashley Westwood former Aston Villa and Burnley midfielder. Belgian striker Dante Vanzeir will try to score goals for the New York Red Bulls, netting 29 times in 67 senior appearances in a bit more than two seasons for Union Saint-Gilloise. For the defensive side, Inter Miami brought former Shakhtar Donetsk centre-back Serhiy Kryvtsov to man that part of the field for the Herons. Finland international Leo Vaisanen will do the same for Austin FC, after Ruben Gabrielsen’s departure. Postseason format debacle  18 teams will now qualify for the revamped postseason which is an increase from last year’s 14 – and the rounds will be mainly single-elimination. The first set of games will be play-in games where the No. 8 and No.9 seeds square off. The next round will witness the other teams join in for a best-of-three series. Every game will have a winner. The format will go back to single elimination for the conference semifinals, conference final and MLS Cup. Although the league contends that this change has been talked about since 2021 and is not being influenced by its new broadcast rights deal with Apple, according to the Athletic’s report last fall that the decision was fuelled a part passion to have more postseason games available on Apple TV than last year’s 13. There will now be as low as 25 games and many as 33.  There is also the desire on the part of MLS owners to host at least one playoff game, to gather more revenue for the League. The solution provided by the MLS lacks consistency in terms of format from round to round, and with 18 teams qualifying for

MLS Matchday 1 Prediction: Austin FC VS St Louis City FC

On MLS Matchday 1, one of the games that’ll draw fans’ attention is Austin FC VS St Louis City FC. For this match, the local team will want to exploit a newly formed squad that has no experience in the top flight to begin on the right foot with three points. MatchPlug has always provided advice on everything American Sports betting, and now we bring you the Best Betting Tips Today for the game between Austin and St Louis City. These are the best odds and predictions below. Related: MLS Matchday 1 Prediction: Nashville SC VS New York City FC Predictions and Betting Preview for Austin FC VS St Louis City FC Venue: Q2 Stadium, Austin, Texas When: Saturday, February 25th, 2023 Time: 17:30 GMT Teams to play: Austin and St. Louis Picks: SPREAD -1.5 Odds as provided by 1XBet. Betting On Austin FC 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.5 Austin FC had a fantastic season in the last edition of the MLS, finishing second in the Western Conference with 56 points, although they had a mishap facing LAFC in the playoff semifinals, where they lost by a 3-0 score. But, this team has everything it needs to recreate the campaign they had last season, so they’d like to get started on the right foot for the first Matchday. They will utilise the fact that they’re playing on their own field, where lost just three of the 17 games they played in last year’s regular season. The Oaks played in 6 preparation matches, with two wins, two draws, and two losses balance. Possible Austin Lineup (4-3-3): Brad Stuver, Julio Cascante, Zan Kolmanic, Nick Lima, Leo Vaisanen, Owen Wolff, Daniel Pereira, Sebastian Driussi, Diego Fagundez, Gyasi Zardes, Emiliano Rigoni. Betting On St Louis FC 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 6.05 Finally, St Louis City FC will make its debut in the new edition of the first division; hoping to become one the few expansion teams that’ll transcend in its first year. No matter, today’s match won’t be an easy task as they’ll be playing against one of the conference’s best teams, Austin FC. Matter of fact, only five clubs have scored three points in their inaugural MLS fixture, and the other 15 ended in defeat or draw. St Louis had six preseason games before today, where it can only choose one victory (three ties, two losses). Possible St Louis Lineup (4-4-2): Roman Burki, Kylie Hiebert, John Nelson, Jakob Nerwinski, Tim Parker, Eduard Löwen, Tomas Ostrak, Njabulo Blom, Rasmus Alm, Joao Klauss, Jared Stroud. MatchPlug Prediction Austin FC seems to have more weapons in their Arsenal to win in this event, as they have more experience playing in the MLS than St Louis FC which has only played preparatory matches. This team is one of the best clubs of 2022 and will have the privilege of playing at home, a place where they haven’t lost in the five most current official matches. Due to this, upvoting Austin FC to win the MLS Matchday 1 game seems like the most logical outcome to choose. Final Prediction: Austin Spread
