Dan Fitch is back with his weekend MLS tips and he fancies a Bet Builder win for the New England Revolution against Minnesota United...

"Revolution are sixth in the Eastern Conference. They were playing well before the break, with just one loss in extra time in the US Open Cup, from their last nine games (W4 D4)."

Back New England to beat Minnesota Utd, both teams to score and over 2.5 goals at 2.77/4

Add some volume to Sounders with Bet Builder

Seattle Sounders 2.35/4 v Los Angeles FC 3.259/4; The Draw 3.814/5

The weekend MLS action begins with the Western Conference leaders Los Angeles FC travelling to seventh placed Seattle Sounders.

Los Angeles may be top of their conference and the overall table, but their form before the international break wasn't as good as you might expect. Though they beat the San Jose Earthquakes 3-2 in their last outing, it was only their second win from the last five games (L3). In fact, it's the Sounders that were in the better form prior to the break. They won 4-0 against Vancouver Whitecaps in their last match, which was their fourth win from their last five games (L1).

It's therefore unsurprising that Seattle are the favourites. Back a Bet Builder double of the Sounders double chance and both teams to score at 2.01/1.

Red Bulls will clip Toronto wings

New York Red Bulls 1.331/3 v Toronto 12.011/1; The Draw 5.95/1

Over in the Eastern Conference the New York Red Bulls are fourth and are only three points clear in the top spot.

They are heavily favoured to win at home against a Toronto side that are twelfth in the Eastern Conference. The Canadians are still in with a shot of a play-off spot, but their form needs to rapidly improve. Toronto won their most recent game 3-2 against Chicago Fire, but it was their first victory after a winless streak of six MLS games (D1 L5).

The Red Bulls are unbeaten in their last five home games (W2 D3), conceding in each of the last four. A New York Red Bulls win and both teams to score is 3.211/5.

Rapids sluggish on the road

New York City 1.51/2 v Colorado 7.413/2; The Draw 4.57/2

Sitting top of the Eastern Conference, three points ahead of their local rivals the Red Bulls, are New York City.

New York could have hardly been in better form before the break. They are unbeaten in eleven games (W9 D2 ) across all competitions, winning the last five without conceding a goal. Aiming to end that run are the Western Conference play-off contenders Colorado Rapids, but their away form suggests that this is unlikely.

The Rapids are without an away win in ten games (D3 L7), losing each of their last five. A New York win, under 1.5 first-half goals and under 3.5 goals, weighs in at 2.77/4.

New England, looking for another goal

New England 1.664/6 v Minnesota Utd 5.14/1; The Draw 4.47/2

Two play-off contenders from different conferences meet in the final MLS clash of the weekend fixtures, as New England Revolution host Minnesota United.

Revolution are sixth in the Eastern Conference. They were playing well before the break, with just one loss in extra time in the US Open Cup, from their last nine games (W4 D4). Minnesota are ninth in the Western Conference, only a point behind the play-off spots.

The visitors were in mixed form before the break, so we have to assume the hosts will continue their hot streak. A New England win, both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is 2.77/4.
