The MLS has begun and it’s already on its 6th round. While it appears that the strongest candidate for the title is David Beckham’s Inter Miami, it’s still too early to tell. For this one we will discuss about another well-known game of this league. Los Angeles Galaxy will host the Seattle Sounders on Mar 31st at Dignity Sports Park Stadium at 1:30 a.m. GMT. It will be the 6th match for the hosts and the 5th for the visitors. The waterlogged pitch forced the confrontation between Seattle and Philadelphia to be abandoned.
Strange statistics for both sides
The home team counts only 1 win and 3 draws so far. Numbers that hold them at a shared 4th place on the table. Similarly, the opposition shows 1 defeat and 2 draws. 6 points for the former, 2 points for the latter and a shared 13th spot in the standings. Interestingly, Los Angeles don’t seem to pay any attention to their defense. Only to score as many as they can. They have sent the ball 9 times at the bottom of the net, while they picked it up from theirs 7. On the other hand, we have a team that neither scores nor concedes. 2 scored, 3 conceded.
Both teams have matches to play tomorrow. The Angelinos are travelling to Kansas City, while Seattle will have another California team to contend with, the San Jose Earthquakes. Especially the last ones have 4 consecutive losses to cope with, so it just might be their chance to get some points on the board. The bookies certainly think so as they are giving them a 2 to 1 advantage.
Odds and ideas
Bookmakers seem to think that both sides will lose their intermediate games and when they get to face each other, it will be a close call. At this time, a victory for either side is offered at over @3,000, while the draw gets @3.896. Those prices are as confusing as they come. They make as much sense as flipping a coin for the outcome. Going for a double chance makes no sense either as any combination gets less than @1.500.
Perhaps, one market that does make sense is the Asian Over 2.75. The two sides have 3 matches going back in time, and all of them had 3 or more goals scored. That market gets @1.909 which is quite acceptable. The same stands true for a both teams to score market offered at @2.060. Even more interesting are the offers that combine a winner with an over or under outcome. All combinations are given at odds from @2.00 and above.
Luckily, we have a good number of days until the confrontation to check all the underlying circumstances that surround this match.
Update
It is finally time to come up with a decision for our football pick for the match between the LA Galaxy and the Seattle Sounders in the MSL. First, let’s see how both teams did in their matches last Sunday. The LA Galaxy won their match against Sporting Kansas City by 2 – 3, while the Seattle Sounders FC lost to the San Jose Earthquakes by 3 – 2, in an almost mirror like result. Even so, this changed things a little bit, as now the odds are at 1.960 for the LA Galaxy to win.
The other two markets I pointed to last week were Asian Over/Under and both to score. Right now, the odds for Over 2.75 are at 1.980, while the odds for both to score had a fall and are at 1.695. Considering that even with the results from the intermediary matches, I still believe this will be a close match, my final decision here is to stick to last week’s plan and place a bet for Asian over 2.75 goals full time.
