MLS Predictions & Tips for Major League Soccer

This is our complete guide to MLS predictions. We’re going to point you in the direction of when and where you can find our tips for the MLS, the best bookies to place your bets with, the different markets we cover and much more.

When Do We Post our MLS Predictions?

When it comes to publishing our MLS tips, we try to hit the sweet spot between giving you access to them as soon as possible, while also allowing enough time to make sure that our AI-systems can do the best possible job.

Typically, they appear a couple of days before the game in question. This gives our systems enough time to take into account the previous set of MLS games, which is vital in terms of the data being accurate.

Our AI technology sources data such as form, head-to-dead records, home/away strength, conditions and team selection news. This is used to create simulations of the game in question.

When we have an idea of how the game could unfold from the results of our simulations, we can match our football tips to the best MLS bets that are available at our recommended bookmakers.

This is another area that prevents us from publishing our tips too early. Sportsbooks will not have the full range of betting markets available until a few days before kick off and we don’t want to limit our choices.

Here is a step-by-step guide that will make an easy task even simpler:

1. Choose a Recommended Betting Site – Take a look at our recommended betting sites and pick one that you think will best serve your needs.
2. Set Up an Account – Whichever site you choose, there will be a prominent call to action, requesting you to open an account. Click on it, register your personal information, set your login details and confirm to open your betting account.
3. Deposit Funds – Now head to the banking section to add some funds. Choose a deposit method, enter the details, decide on how much money you want to add and confirm the transaction.
4. Find an MLS Bet – Check out our MLS football predictions, find a tip that you like the look of and then the corresponding bet at your new bookmaker account. Go to the football section, then scroll through the leagues until you reach the MLS and the bet in question.

Different MLS Tips We Offer

Our MLS predictions take advantage of the range of different markets that are available. Here are some of the different types of bets that you can expect to find when following our advice.

• 1×2 – This is the first market that you will see when you click on an MLS game. You are betting on the result of a match, with 1 representing the home team, x being the draw and 2 the away team.
• Cards – You can bet on a variety of different cards markets. These include the total number of cards in a game, the amount shown to a particular team, or whether an individual player will be booked.
• Corners – Our MLS betting tips drill into the stats and one of them is corners. Again, there are multiple options, concerned with the total amount of corners in a game, or the amount earned by a certain team, with different periods of betting available.
• Goalscorer Markets – Many of our US Major League Soccer predictions are focused on goalscorer markets. Bet on whether a player will score at any time during a match, or grab the first goal or last goal.
• Over/Under – Over/under wagers are particularly popular for goals, such as will there be under or over 2.5 goals in a game, with a variety of other options available.

MLS Score Predictions

Both teams to score, or BTTS, as it is often abbreviated to, is a tip that comes up regularly.

Often it can be tough to predict a result, but if both teams have strong attacks, and/or defensive issues, then betting on both teams to score can be a logical choice.

Meanwhile, predicting the correct score for a match is a very specific task and is rewarded accordingly, with big odds.

Our AI-generated MLS predictions can be very useful for this type of bet, doing the hard research work for you and pinpointing a likely score, based on our countless match simulations.

MLS Accumulator Tips & Bet Builder

When there is a busy schedule of MLS fixtures, placing an accumulator which combines several bets together, can be a fun and profitable bet.

There is the option of combining a few sure things at short odds together, to create one value bet, or go for a huge payout with an accumulator with big odds.

Our regular MLS acca tips are an important tool that will help you to be successful with your combination bets.

If you want to create an acca from within the same-game, then choose a bookmaker with a Bet Builder feature.

This will allow you to create your own accas entirely from bets within one game. Following Bet Builder tips is a great option in order to go for a big win, or to just add a little extra value to a bet, when the odds are short.

About Major League Soccer

The MLS regular season starts in February and runs through to October, with each team playing 34 games. That gives us plenty of scope to serve up our MLS predictions on a frequent basis.

MLS teams play all the other teams in their conference home and away, as well as having a number of cross-conference opponents.

The teams finishing in positions 1 to 7 in both conferences, qualify for round one of the MLS Cup playoffs. Teams finishing in 8th and 9th positions in the two conferences, qualify for the wild-card round, from which the winners can reach round one.

Whichever team tops the overall table, wins the Supporters’ Shield. Throughout the playoffs, the team with the highest Supporters’ Shield ranking will enjoy home advantage.

The wild-card rounds begin in late October and the playoffs run through until the MLS Cup in early December.
