Major League Soccer

Atlanta United FC vs. Columbus Crew

• When: Saturday, July 20th, 2024. 7:30pm ET.

• Soccer Odds: Atlanta United FC +185 // Columbus Crew +120

Road squad Columbus offers overlay odds. Atlanta shows a draw and 4 losses in their last 5 while Columbus has a draw and 4 wins.

The Crew head into this match with 43 points. Because Inter Miami will be without Lionel Messi for at least the next 2 matches, Columbus could make up ground on the MLS leader. Expect a Crew victory in regulation.

Soccer Betting Pick: Columbus Crew

CF Montreal vs. Toronto FC

• When: Saturday, July 20th, 2024. 7:30pm ET.

• Soccer Odds: CF Montreal +103 // Toronto FC +220

This all Canadian match favors home team Montreal. Toronto hasn’t played well, losing 4-of-5 in their current form cycle. The lone Toronto victory came in a home match versus Philadelphia Union.

Montreal has won 2-of-5 with a couple of draws and a loss. As long as the odds stay above +100, Montreal is an overlay to beat their national rivals.

Soccer Betting Pick: CF Montreal

Inter Miami CF vs. Chicago Fire FC

• When: Saturday, July 20th, 2024. 7:30pm ET.

• Soccer Odds: Inter Miami CF -179 // Chicago Fire FC +360

In their first match without Messi on July 17, Inter Miami stepped it up in a 3-1 victory. Ah, but the win came against Toronto, which isn’t playing well.

The Chicago Fire head into this contest off a draw against New York City and a win over Cincinnati. Give the Fire a shot to upset Miami in regulation.

Soccer Betting Pick: Chicago Fire FC

Austin FC vs. Charlotte FC

• When: Saturday, July 20th, 2024. 8:30pm ET.

• Soccer Odds: Austin FC +141 vs Charlotte FC +175

Austin versus Charlotte should be a fantastic matchup. Austin, the slight favorite, takes on the road dog after 2 straight losses.

Charlotte, though, is playing great. The +175 underdogs beat FC Cincinnati 3-1 on July 13. Then in their last match, Charlotte drew against Columbus 1-1 on July 17. The odds make the dog more than playable.

Soccer Betting Pick: Charlotte FC

Seattle Sounders FC vs. LAFC

• When: Saturday, July 20th, 2024. 8:30pm ET.

• Soccer Odds: Seattle Sounders FC +141 // LAFC +165

LAFC is just 2 points behind the division leading LA Galaxy, which makes this game ultra important. But although LAFC can get the win, Seattle is the play.

The Sounders are on fire. The home team in this has won 5 straight, while the Los Angeles Football Club heads into this match off a draw and a loss. Seattle gets the nod.

Soccer Betting Pick: Charlotte FC

Mexican Liga BBVA

Cruz Azul vs. Toluca

• When: Saturday, July 20th, 2024. 9:05pm ET.

• Soccer Odds: Cruz Azul +115 // Toluca +220

Cruz Azul versus Toluca is one of this week’s top matchups. The home squad is undefeated so far this Mexican Liga season, going 3-0.

Toluca is ready to hand Cruz Azul their first loss. The +220 underdog is on a 2-match winning streak. The odds are also kind on Toluca. Give the road dog a real chance to pull off the upset win.

Soccer Betting Pick: Toluca

FC Juarez vs. America

• When: Saturday, July 20th, 2024. 9:10pm ET.

• Soccer Odds: FC Juarez +370 vs America -154

It’s early in the season and America isn’t playing as well as they usually do, which is why the road team is just a -154 favorite. We should take advantage because, eventually, America will get on a roll.

The road team always finished in the Mexican Liga top five. This season, America believes it can win the league. Also, even though America lost their last, it was versus Tigres UANL, another Mexican Liga contender. America rolls.

Soccer Betting Pick: America
