Cincinnati v NY City - Double Chance - away win or draw
Cincinnati simply have not been able to find a way past New York City in the Major League Soccer in recent years. The two sides have played on 5 occasions since 2024, and New York City have been unbeaten in them all. Thursday's game at TQL Stadium could be another hard one for P. Noonan & co.

Audi Field is the backdrop as DC United and New England Revolution clash on Thursday morning, in what might just be a proper ding-dong battle. R. Weiler's side have the highest number of BTTS + draws of any club in the division - 6 in 18 games. An extension of that record has best odds of 4.50.

Wicky's team lead Major League Soccer in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 15 of their Major League Soccer games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from Y. Damet's men could prevent more of the same.
Colorado v LAFC - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can predict at least one set of players to keep a clean sheet at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Thursday, as M. Dos Santos and M. Wells's sides clash.

Both bosses will just be hoping it isn't their side that fails to register.

Portland v San Diego - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
The record books suggest we could have some serious entertainment at Providence Park on Thursday morning. Each of Portland Timbers and San Diego's last 5 Major League Soccer clashes have had over 2.5 goals, and M. Cifuentes Corvillo and M. Varas's sides will be going all-out to keep that run going.
Vancouver v Houston - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring fixtures aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Houston Dynamo have had too many chances to test that theory this campaign. 11 of their side's matches in Major League Soccer have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will J. Sørensen and his Vancouver Whitecaps team be able to inject goals into this encounter on Thursday? Or will it be same old same old?
Austin v Philadelphia - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like putting your money on goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming game between Philadelphia Union and Austin might well be worth a look. B. Carnell's side have lost 7 games this season in which both teams have got on the scoresheet. That's the most in Major League Soccer.
Seattle v Salt Lake - Both Teams To Score - yes

That record suggests it may be a tough morning for Chicago Fire, and that backing Vancouver Whitecaps in the HT FT market could be a great shout at odds of 3.60.
