Predictions and Betting Preview for Colorado Rapids VS Houston Dynamo Game 24

colorado vs houston
  • Venue: DSG Park, Colorado.
  • When: Sunday, July 16th, 2023
  • Time: 2:30 GMT
  • Teams to play: Colorado and Houston.
  • MLS Picks: MONEYLINE 2.35

Odds provided by 1XBet.

Betting On Colorado Rapids

  • 1XBet Spread: 0
  • 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2
  • 1XBet Moneyline: 2.35

The Colorado Rapids finished off with a scoreless draw against the Portland Timbers on Wednesday July 4 at the DSG Park.

This game resumed in the 46th minute, and only players who were active on July 4 could play, meaning that Andrew Gutman of the Rapids, who joined the team after that date, was ruled out of the match.

The result leaves Colorado at the bottom of the Western Conference on 18 points after 22 matches, but the Rapids have only lost once in their last four outings, meaning they may have turned a corner.

A playoff spot for this team is realistically out of reach, with the Rapids 11 points behind Dallas FC in seventh, but a good climax to the season may be in the cards for them.

Betting On Houston Dynamo

  • 1XBet Spread: 0
  • 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2
  • 1XBet Moneyline: 3.416

Failing to qualify for the playoffs in each of the past five seasons, Houston was set to clinch a top-seven position in the Western Conference and be present for the business end of the season.

This plan took a huge blow Wednesday night when they were defeated by Minnesota United onthe road, courtesy of strikes from Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Ismael Tajouri, and Teemu Pukki, but their is still time to turn things in their favor.

Houston is presently, ninth position in the Western Conference, after picking up 28 points from 22 matches, with only eight wins coming on the road.

Since they had an easy 4-1 victory over San Jose Earthquakes on June 22, Houston lost consecutive games against Austin FC and Seattle Sounders before splitting the spoils in an intriguing 2-2 draw with Sporting Kansas City and suffering a loss to Minnesota United, so they are expected to end the winless curse today.

MatchPlug Prediction

Although they enter today’s game in better form, Colorado Rapids still hage a poor home record, and Houston has a bad away record, so the teams might cancel each other out, resulting in a draw.

Soccer Predictions Today: Austin FC VS Sporting Kansas City Sure Tips

Austin FC VS Sporting Kansas City clash at the Q2 Stadium today in the latest MLS fixture between these two teams.

Austin is in sixth position in the Western Conference, three points better of than the visitors, who are presently in 11th place.

MatchPlug presents the Best soccer bets today for Austin VS Kansas City, we are a Sure Prediction Site where you can get previews and picks for all MLS matches.

Predictions and Betting Preview For Austin FC VS Sporting Kansas City Game 24

  • Venue: Q2 Stadium, Austin, Texas
  • When: Sunday, July 16th, 2023
  • Time: 2:30 GMT
  • Teams: Austin and Kansas City.
  • MLS Picks: MONEYLINE 2.085

Odds as provided by 1XBet.

Betting On Austin FC

  • 1XBet Spread: -1.5
  • 1XBet Over/Under: Over 3.5
  • 1XBet Moneyline: 2.085

Austin FC has gathered 29 points from 22 MLS matches played so far, which means they are presently in the playoff places, but they won’t reach the top position, since they are 12 points behind St. Louis City who is in first place.

Despite this setback, Austin is still on track to have a great season, and their form has gotten better in recent weeks, gathering 10 points in their last five games, defeating Houston Dynamo, Dallas FC and Minnesota United.

This team won their last two home games without forfeiting a goal, so they will be happy to be playing at Q2 today, as they have had a patchy form on the road lately, losing to the Vancouver Whitecaps the last time.

Austin sank into a 2-1 defeat in Canada, in what was an inspiring peformance, scoring just two shots on target throughout the whole match, a necessary improvement will be needed this week.

But, they struggled the last they played against Sporting Kansas City, losing 4-1 in the alternate fixture back in June, despite controlling most of the possession.

Possible Lineup: Stuver, Lima, Cascante, Keller, Gallagher, Wolff, Jimenez, Redes, Driussi, Fagundez, Urruti

Betting On Sporting Kansas City

  • 1XBet Spread: +1.5
  • 1XBet Over/Under: Under 3.5
  • 1XBet Moneyline: 3.355

Sporting Kansas City somehow became easy winners in the last fixture between the two teams, but their form since then has been disappointing, winner only one of their last six matches.

Kansas drew three of those matches, and are unbeaten in July, so there is an upside for them, but they will need more wins, and quickly too if they want to be in the playoffs.

They are  presently two points off the playoff spots, but they have played three matches more than the two teams directly above them in the table, and blew a good chance to secure three points the last time.

Sporting went in 2-0 up at half-time against Real Salt Lake, with Daniel Salloi and Johnny Russell getting on the scoresheet, but they lost control of the game in the second half, eventually ending 2-2.

They have played poorly on the road since this season, not winning away from home since a 2-1 victory at Seattle Sounders at the beginning of May.

Possible Lineup: McIntosh, Davis, Rosero, Fontas, Leibold, Thommy, Radoja, Walter, Russell, Saloi, Pulido.

MatchPlug Prediction

Austin FC have played well at home in recent weeks, winning their last two games at Q2 3-0, and experts expect them to have another easy victory this Saturday. While they lost to Kansas City in April, they are three points above them in the table, even after playing two fewer matches.

Final Prediction: Austin FC Moneyline.

Soccer Predictions Today: Los Angeles FC VS San Jose Earthquakes Sure Tips

  • Teams: Earthquakes and Galaxy.
  • MLS Picks: MONEYLINE 1.555

Odds as provided by 1XBet.

Betting On Los Angeles FC 

  • 1XBet Spread: -1
  • 1XBet Over/Under: Over 3
  • 1XBet Moneyline: 1.555

Despite gathering 17 shots plus 8 attempts on target, Los Angels FC took a shameful 2-1 loss against LA Galaxy in midweek, with Ex-Barca midfielder Riqui Puig delivering the winning goal to bury this team.

The loss followed them to losing three matches, with a 3-2 loss against the White Vancouver Whitecaps and a 2-0 win from FC Dallas preceding their El Trafico failure on Tuesday.

However, the defending MLS champions are only three points from the Western Conference leaders St. Louis City FC, thanks to their outstanding start to the season, as they had a sole defeat in their opening 13 league matches, securing 7 wins and five draws.

No matter, LAFC has the best defensive record in the West and the second-best defensive record in the MLS, so they may be ending their losing streak today.

Possible Lineup: McCarthy, Duenas, Maldonado, Chiellini, Hollingshead, Acosta, Sanchez, Tillman, Opoku, Vela, Bouanga.

Betting On San Jose Earthquakes

  • 1XBet Spread: +1
  • 1XBet Over/Under: Under 3
  • 1XBet Moneyline: 5.71

San Jos Earthquakes stole up on LA Galaxy twice to secure a draw last weekend, when Jack Skahan delivered an equalizer at halftime before Christian Espinoza clinched a point for his team in the 81st minute.

Due to this, the Earthquakes enter today’s game on a four-game winless run, recording two draws and two defeats since their last victory, with consecutive losses against Houston Dynamo and St Louis City preceding last weekend’s draw. 

Note, that San Jose lost two of their last eight games, picking two wins and four draws, so they’ll need to avoid defeat today.

On that note, the Earthquakes have the second-worst away record in the Western Conference, recordings just one win, three draws, and six losses on the road this season.

They have also forfeited 19 goals across their 10 away league games this year, maintaining only two clean sheets in this journey, with the 4-1 whipping from Houston marking the beginning of their road struggles. 

Possible Lineup: Daniel, Akapo, Jonathan, Rodrigues, Trauco, Yueill, Gruezo, Skahan, Tsakiris, Espinoza, Ebobisse.

MatchPlug Prediction

It is hard to picture LAFC suffering four consecutive losses, especially with the type of squad they have. Today’s match will be tight and locked as Los Angeles will want to end their losing streak. However, they have enough ammunition to dispatch San Jose. 

Final Prediction: Los Angeles FC Moneyline.

Betting On Los Angeles Galaxy

  • 1XBet Moneyline: 2.41

Los Angeles Galaxy serves up its share of thrills, and last weekend’s game with Los Angeles FC was no different, as they secured a 2-1 victory over LAFC in the presence of a record MLS crowd.

Galaxy has evaded defeat in every of their last 6 matches, defeating Real Salt Lake before getting four consecutive draws, with last weekend’s win extending their fire streak.

However, do keep in mind that LA Galaxy managed to win only two of their opening 14 MLS games this year, recording three draws and nine losses in that process, so they still have lots of work to do if they wish to make it to playoffs.

Another thing to note is that Galaxy has the worst defensive record and the second-worst offensive record in the Western Conference, meaning they must improve on both sides.

Possible Lineup: Bond, Calegari, Leerdam, Mavinga, Edwards; Delgado, Burgman, Puig, Boyd, Judd, Costa.

Betting On Philadelphia Union

  • 1XBet Spread: 0
  • 1XBet Over/Under: Under 3
  • 1XBet Moneyline: 2.904

Philadelphia Union racked up a nine-game undefeated streak between April and June, securing 7 wins and 2 draws in the MLS, they seem fated to win the Eastern Conference. 

But, the team has struggled to stay consistent since that time, clinching one win, one draw and two defeats, and have failed on the road in recent weeks, taking just one point from their last three road matches.

The Union enter today’s match with a 2-0 defeat against Atlanta United, with them mustering a sole attempt on their opponent at Mercedes Benz Stadium last weekend.

Although, Philadelphia stays five points inside the top seven teams in the Eastern Conference and 15 points higher than Los Angeles in overall standings – winning 10 of their 20 league encounters this year.

Possible Lineup: Bendik, Glesnes, Elliott, Harriel, Mbaizo, Bedoya, Martinez, Flach, Gazdag, Carranza, Uhre.

MatchPlug Prediction

LA Galaxy may have improved their performance in recent weeks, but the Philadelphia Union still has what it takes to win the Western Conference team.

Galaxy will put up a strong fight, but the Union may secure a close victory at Dignity Health, as they get back to winning. 

Final Prediction: Los Angeles Galaxy Moneyline.

Minnesota United sign Nigerian midfielder Emmanuel Iwe from MLS NEXT Pro

Minnesota United FC has dipped into the MLS NEXT Pro-to-first team waters for the first time announcing Friday the signing of MNUFC2 midfielder Emmanuel Iwe.

His historic contract runs through the 2023 MLS season, with club options for 2024-26. 

Iwe who is a Nigerian, enjoyed a fast rise through Minnesota’s ranks after he impresses scouts during open tryouts in January 2022.

“The first time that we saw [Emmanuel] Iwe, the first thing that stood out was his pace – he’s incredibly athletic, he’s really quick,” Loons head coach Adrian Heath said in an announcement.

“… I think we always recognized that there was a lot of potential there and I think he started to realize some of that potential. We feel as though now he’s put himself in a spot where he’s deserved this opportunity to have an MLS contract, come onto the roster, and now let’s go from here. This is just the beginning.”

Iwe has four goals in 11 starts for MNUFC2 this year, while he made his MLS debut as a substitute against the Vancouver Whitecaps in Matchday 4 after signing a short-term agreement with the first team. Two extra short-term agreements ensued, allowing him to appear again off the bench against CF Montréal earlier this month while also starting the Loons’ 3-1 win over USL Championship side Detroit City FC in the US Open Cup Round of 32 in April.

“It’s a credit to [Emmanuel] for putting himself out there in the first place. Coming to an open tryout is never easy and then taking the opportunities that have come his way,” MNUFC2 manager Cameron Knowles said.

“… It’s great for him that he’s been able to take this next step, and it’s the beginning of the next phase of his career, which is really exciting.”

Atlant United continues to battle for results away from home after a 4-0 lashing from New York Red Bulls at the Red Bull Arena last Monday.

Despite being behind for most of the matches and seeing only 34% of the ball possession, goals from Daniel Edelman, Cristian Casseres Jr. and second-half support from Frankie Amaya helped United win an easy victory.

Atlanta has played 9 successive matches without a victory on the road, losing 4 and getting 5 draws since a 3-0 win over Charlotte FC on March 11.

But, Atlanta United is now home, where they have recorded just one loss since the season began and are undefeated in their last fixture, securing 2 wins and 2 draws since they lost 3-1 to Charlotte in May.

With 29 points gathered from 20 games, the Five Stripes are presently 6th in the Eastern Conference standings, two points behind Columbus Crew which is in fifth place, and have one pending match.

Betting On The Philadelphia Union

  • 1XBet Moneyline: 2.816

At the other end of the field, Philadelphia Union went back to winning in style when they destroyed Inter Miami 4-1 when they met at Subaru Park last Sunday.

Jakob Glesnes, Julian Carranza and Leon Flach scored goals to put the Union in a dominating first-half lead, Robert Taylor for Miami in the 50th minute, but a 68th-minute own goal from David Ruiz restored the three-goal deficit.

Before that, Philadelphia witnessed their six-game undefeated run end on June 11 no thanks to a 2-1 defeat by the San Jose Earthquakes, 11 days before a 2-2 draw at Orlando City.

After last weekend’s win, the Union now has 4 home wins on the trot and is undefeated in 9 straight games, obtaining 6 wins and 3 draws since a 2-1 loss at Orlando in March.

Coming up for Philadelphia is a rival that is winless in all of their last 6 meetings across all competitions, losing 3 and claiming 3 draws since a 4-0 victory in January 2020.

The Union have won 10 of their 19 matches thus far, with 4 draws and losing 5 to score 34 points and sit in 4th place in the Eastern Conference table, 9 points behind first-placed Cincinnati.

Possible Lineup: Bendik, Mbaizo, Glesnes, Elliott, Wagner, Martinez, Bedoya, Flach, Gazdag, Uhre

MatchPlug Prediction

Atlanta United will want to save face tonight after their belittling defeat against New York. But, they are playing Philadelphia Union who has been on the better end of this fixture over the past two years.

Although home advantage makes Atlanta slight favourites, experts predict that the guests will do enough damage to enjoy the good of this game.

Betting On Seattle Sounders

  • 1XBet Spread: -1.5
  • 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5
  • 1XBet Moneyline: 1.92

The Seattle Sounders started the season with 6 victories from 9 MLS fixtures, which led to some expectations that they would last at the top of the Western Conference. 

Although they have done that to some extent, there is no denying that they are lucky to still be in 3rd position after a five-game defeat galore.

Additionally, the Sounders won only two of their last 11 games, with the goalless draw with Orlando City keeping them in the right direction.

But, their last three victories since the middle of April have been 1-0 scorelines, and Seattle failed to score four in their most recent five matches.

While they still have the best defensive record in the West, there is no confusion that they should find better balance if they must keep playing to enter playoffs.

Possible Lineups: Frei, Baker, Andrade, Ragen, Tolo, Paulo, Vargas, Lodeiro, Rusnak, Chu, Heber.

Betting On Houston Dynamo

  • 1XBet Spread: +1.5
  • 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5
  • 1XBet Moneyline: 3.98

If Houston Dynamo wrote the reports, they’ll say they are a rising team even after losing 3-0 at mid-table Austin FC last time out.

Before that loss, they have gotten three consecutive victories with four goals against Los Angeles FC and San Jose Earthquakes.

With only 4 points separating 3rd and 9th, those points have made Houston contenders finish with playoff spots.

Regardless, they already lost to Sounders this year by a 1-0 scoreline in a match where players were sent off in the 21st and 78th minutes.

Possible Lineup: Clark, Escobar, Sviatchenko, Micael, Steres, Artur, Herrera, Franco, Bassi, Ulfarsson, Ibrahim.

MatchPlug Prediction

Despite having luxurious positions in MLS, none of these teams has proven that they deserve this spot, particularly with the Sounders losing their way. 

Regardless, experts believe that Seattle will play well enough to get enough points and maintain their third position.

Final Prediction: Sounders Moneyline.

While some teams have been consistent in the Western Conference, the San Jose Earthquakes take the cake this season for unpredictable results.

They have faced two consecutive defeats, with the most recent one at the hands of Houston Dynamo and St. Louis City.

However, even after losing many games as they have won this year and possessing a negative goal difference, they are still in 5th position.

After last year’s 14th-placed finish, the Earthquakes can start enjoying the campaign, although there is more to come from them.

On that note, the majority of their points have been in familiar territory, securing 6 wins and 3 draws from 10 games and it is important that they maintain this form since they have played poorly on the road.

Possible Lineup: Daniel, Akapo, Mensah, Rodrigues, Trauco, Yueill, Gruezo, Espinoza, Monteiro, Ebobisse.

Betting On LA Galaxy

  • 1XBet Spread: +1.5
  • 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5

The LA Galaxy have failed to defend their last season’s 4th position finish and struggle with improvement.

Presently, they are in 13th place, avoiding the bottom of the standings thanks to a four-game undefeated streak with has given them 6 points.

They have 3 consecutive draws, yet there is a chance for them to go back to contending for playoffs with two games left with some teams above them.

For this to happen, LA Galaxy which lost half of their 18 league games, must get maximum points on the board regularly and one of their three wins was from the Earthquakes in a match that happened on May 15th.

Possible Lineup: Bond, Cuevas, Calegari, Mavinga, Leerdam, Edwards, Aguirre, Brugman, Puig, Boyd, Judd.

With the Earthquakes slacking at a time when Galaxy are gradually finding their form, this game may be closer than expected. However, the hosts will have the edge.
