MLS 2022 Week 19 | MLS Betting Tips

A week ago this would have been a white hot team facing off with a team who had lost its form. That is still the case now except the roles have been flipped. It’s Seattle who comes in as the team who has lost 3 of its last 4 including getting pounded by Portland last weekend. Chicago meanwhile had Columbus on the ropes before crumbling and they smacked Toronto in the mid week. I’m still taking talent over form in this one though I do expect it to be a lower scoring affair. Seattle has some massive Western Conference clashes coming up with Dallas and LAFC, they need to get points before they hit those potential stumbling blocks. Chicago has kept a clean sheet in 11 of the last 17 at home, but Seattle has the talent to break through once or twice.

This game should have late movement on the line because of news that broke earlier this morning. DC’s second best player Julian Gressel was dealt to Vancouver. Wayne Rooney may eventually get this thing figured out but things are still a bit of a mess in DC. Meanwhile Minnesota is white hot. They surrendered a late equalizer to SKC but had won 3 in a row before that. Until DC proves its affairs are back in order, keep laying them and keep taking the money. The home team has also won all 4 games in this series. DC has never scored in the twin cities.

It’s pretty rare that I pick against Cincy but again this one comes down to unavailable players. Luciano Acosta is having an MVP caliber season for the orange and blue, but he will miss this game as well as the next one for an incident with a referee a few games ago. Columbus has also owned their new ohio neighbours, in 8 meetings of the Hell is Real Derby Columbus has only been beaten once. This will still be a pretty fascinating one to watch even without Lucho. It matches Colubmus’s 7 game unbeaten streak vs Cincy’s 6 game unbeaten streak. It also matches two of the top young strikers in the league as brand new Columbus forward Chucho Hernandez has 3 goals in his first 2 games. Meanwhile Brenner has finally broken out with 8 goal contributions in his last 7 games after only having 6 goal contributions in his previous 28 league games.
