MLS Best Bets: Wednesday August 17th

There are a few matches to choose from in the MLS on Wednesday night. Many of the league’s trailblazers are in action, and I’m expecting some entertaining clashes as the season rumbles on.

In this article:


Atlanta vs New York Red Bulls Preview

USA, MLS, Thursday, August 18th, 00:30am (UK)

Atlanta have a truly woeful record against New York Red Bulls. They have won just once in the last 13 meetings between the sides, but the form of each team coming into this one suggests they have a chance of improving that record here.

The Red Bulls have won just one of their last five competitive matches, while Atlanta have lost just one of theirs. Despite the dip in New York Red Bull’s form, they are still eight in the MLS; eight points above Atlanta. New York also have four wins in their last ten away games, which is reasonable for a side going through a rough patch.

I expect the visitors to improve here, they should have confidence as a result of their head-to-head record with Atlanta, and they need the points in order to fend off the chasing pack in the Eastern Conference.

Atlanta vs New York Red Bulls Best Bet

We can get odds of 2.25 with bet365 for the away side to win in the draw no bet market. This gives us the added security of our money back should the game end in a draw. I’m happy to back the Red Bulls given their strong record against Atlanta and superior league position.

  • Selection: New York – Draw No Bet
  • Best Odds: 2.25 (bet365)
  • Stakes: 6/10

New York City FC vs Charlotte FC Preview

USA, MLS, Thursday, August 18th, 1:00am (UK)

These two teams have never met previously, and the home side come into this one as strong favourites. NYCFC are 3rd in the Eastern Conference, 13 points ahead of Wednesday night’s opponents.
NYCFC’s home record is formidable; they have lost just one of their last 20 competitive matches at home, and they have 13 victories over that period. Charlotte have just two victories in their last 20 matches on the road, so it’s looking quite ominous for them here.

Even more worryingly, Charlotte have conceded 12 goals in their last three away matches. Therefore, New York will confident of finding the net here.

New York City FC vs Charlotte FC Best Bet

New York City’s price to win is a little short for my liking, but I’m happy to back them to score a few here. The side to score over 2.5 goals in the match is priced at 2.50 with bet365, and the larger price means we can stake slightly smaller to mitigate the risk.

Charlotte have been conceding plenty of goals recently, and they could struggle to contain one of the stronger sides in the division here.

  • Selection: NYCFC Over 2.5 Goals (TRACKED BET)
  • Best Odds: 2.50 (bet365)
  • Stakes: 4/10

FC Dallas vs Philadelphia Union Preview

USA, MLS, Thursday, August 18th, 2:00am (UK)

FC Dallas host a Philadelphia side who are in great form on Wednesday night, and they will hope that home advantage will give them enough to stop the visitors’ charge. FC Dallas have won the last two meetings between these sides and have never been beaten at home by Philadelphia.

Union have won six of their last seven matches, and it is a run of form that has seen them reach the summit of the Eastern Conference. Dallas are third in the Western Conference, and they have amassed nine points fewer than their opponents here.

Both teams will show attacking intent here, and I expect this to lead to several corners. FC Dallas’ last 10 home matches are averaging over 10 corners per game, while Philadelphia’s away matches are averaging just under 12 corners per game.

FC Dallas vs Philadelphia Union Best Bet

bet365 have over 10 corners in the match priced at 1.85 on the Asian market, which means we get our money back if there is exactly 10. The last three meetings between these sides in Dallas have resulted in 11, 12 and 13 corner kicks.

Selection: Over 10 Asian Corners
Best Odds: 1.85 (bet365)
Stakes: 7/10

Odds as at 19:00 August 16th 2022. Odds may now differ.
