MLS Predictions Week 10
Looking ahead to this weekend s MLS picks and betting tips, we have three predictions for Week 10 below.
We were so close to a perfect record if not for a Columbus Crew stoppage time goal being called off by VAR.
Last Week s Record: 2-1, +0.75 units
MLS Season Record: 14-15, -3.22 units
Toronto FC vs NYCFC Prediction
The long run of four straight Toronto draws finally came to an end last week when they got thumped 4-2 by the Philadelphia Union. That scoreline actually flatters TFC as it was 3-0 at halfime and 4-0 through 56 minutes after a Mikael Uhre hat-trick and an own goal. Toronto didn t score until the 66 and 92 minutes. That leaves Toronto at 1-6-2 (WDL).
TFC did at least find the back of the net, something they ve done in 7/9 games this season. At home they re still undefeated at 1-3-0, scoring in all four games and scoring multiple goals in three of those four.
Lorenzo Insigne started last week and found the scoresheet. With he and Federico Bernardeschi up top TFC will always be in the running to score. TFC keeper Sean Johnson will also be getting his first start against his old team having been traded from New York in the offseason.

Toronto FC (@TorontoFC)
NYCFC had a much better fate last week jumping ahead 3-0 at home to Dallas and eventually winning 3-1. They re fourth in the East at 4-3-2 and considered one of the contenders in the . They re also undefeated in four, while suffering just a single defeat in their past seven. New York s two losses though have both come on the road and have both seen them fail to score. They re also winless in four away matches at 0-2-2. But on the season overall, New York has scored in 7/9, however, they ve also conceded in 8/9.
It s been just over a year since these teams have played and it was a 5-4 home win for New York last April. The past four scorelines have read 5-4, 2-1, 2-2 and 1-1.
I ll bet on another game with goals from both sides for my TFC vs NYCFC picks.
MLS Predictions: Both teams to score (-134), risk 1 unit at Bet365
Columbus Crew vs Inter Miami Prediction
The losses keep piling up for Miami. They came off a bye and last week went into Houston and despite playing a better game than in weeks past, still failed to scored and allowed a late goal in the 72 minute to lose 1-0 in Houston.
On the road, the Herons have lost all four games. While they ve only allowed five goals in those losses, they ve scored exactly zero themselves. Those road losses have read 1-0, 2-0, 1-0 and 1-0. So the losses are at least close and their road xGA isn t actually that bad at 4.4, the third-best in the East.
But going into Columbus will be a tough spot to come away from with points. The Crew are coming off a 1-0 loss in Charlotte, although they nearly drew level in stoppage time if not for VAR overturning the goal. They drew 1-1 the week prior, so will no doubt be looking to get back on track against a struggling Miami team.
The Crew have yet to lose at home this season at 3-1-0, while outscoring their opponents 13-2. But going back into last season Columbus has made Lower.com Field a sort of fortress with no losses in ten, one loss in 15 and just five losses in 28 home games.
Cucho Hernandez saw some time in the US Open Cup this week as he returned from injury. If he also sees time this weekend that instantly makes the Crew attack that is second in scoring even more dangerous. I m backing a Crew win in my MLS predictions.
MLS Predictions: Columbus win (-150), risk 1 unit at Bet365
