This is pretty unbelievable! Through eight matches, the LA Galaxy have yet to win a match outright. The amount of disbelief and stunned experts is astonishing. Yes, a drop-off was likely. However, the team had just won their first MLS Cup in a decade. A hard fought championship was not supposed to lead to this. MLS Saturday Best Bets attempt to see if the Galaxy can finally get in the win column for 2025.
Is this even the same team that scored 18 goals in their postseason run last year? The defense is even worse early. A goal differential of -9 is tied for worst in the league with DC United and CF Montreal. Both of those teams are not quite the shock that the Galaxy are.
Neither team is in the best of ways. At least Austin has put together a few decent wins. Los Angeles, some argued, have played too much soccer early. However, the reality is, the Galaxy look like shells of their former selves. For a team that usually averaged 1.67 a game, Los Angeles has averaged 0.75 in the early going.
Now, MLS Saturday Best Bets want to know. Does the misery end or does it pile on?
So, the LA Galaxy are in big trouble already. Only accumulating one point at home is bad enough but just two on the road is arguably worse. Their opponent on Saturday, Austin FC, is already 10 points ahead in the standings. Granted, the season has 25 more matches left but these are starts that are difficult to recover from as it is.
Naturally, the Galaxy will eventually win a game. The question is when. New players coming in with quite a bit of talent leaving always spell red flags. However, when an explosive front line fails to ignite, that only makes things worse. Sure, there are some injury woes but Los Angeles has a major offensive problem which has impacted all phases including goaltending.
People forget how difficult the champions’ schedule is early. It shows in the pace of play. The LA Galaxy are not dynamic at all. The game appears slow and slower on the pitch. When teams can clog and counter, Los Angeles is sunk before the ball even hits the ground. When 17 and 18-year-olds are getting in the lineup, that only creates more issues.
Now, there is belief that the Galaxy can correct enough of these problems. Unfortunately, this may take awhile. It is not so much that Austin will win, the reality is that Los Angeles is more likely to lose. That makes for a somewhat predictable home win at Q2 stadium. Let’s ride the home Austin win in the MLS Saturday best bets.
Yes, MLS Saturday Best Bets spreads things out. However, there are some swings to consider even in Austin. If one thinks the team from Texas will bounce back big after being routed last week, the -1.5 goals now looms at a whopping +225. Los Angeles plays even slower on the road.
In other action, Columbus (5-0-3) tries to keep its undefeated streak going against Inter Miami and Messi. Miami is also undefeated in the early going at 4-0-3. This could be one of those matches where again taking the home side is a wise move. Miami is playing much smarter defensively and has a little more offensive flair at home. At -0.5 goals, Inter Miami is currently at +190.
Finally, Philadelphia expects to have an easy time with Atlanta at home on Saturday. Atlanta FC has only played twice on the road (drew once and lost badly once). Expect the Union to ring in the weekend with a one or two-goal win. Again, among the spreads, Inter Miami is our best bet.
Are there more MLS Saturday Best Bets? That answer is yes of course. Why not see who may be the most likely to draw on Saturday. Ironically, the two NYC area teams might top most lists.
Again some of the magic is gone from the NY/NJ Red Bulls in the early going. Like the LA Galaxy, the rigors of playing that much on the pitch have not been idea. While the Red Bulls did keep most of their team together, the form offensively has not quite been there (1.25 goals for per game). Even against DC, the guarantee is not there. Most likely they win but it is entirely possible the Red Bulls draw for a fourth time in 2025.
As for NYCFC, they are up in New England against a Revolution team that does not score or allow many goals (4GF, 7GA). It is a game that shapes up to be low scoring (0-0 or 1-1) and the most apt to get that draw result.
