Correct Score Prediction

Sporting KC
There could be merit in backing Houston to win 3-1. Odds of +750 are available about a correct score bet where a nice potential return is on the cards.
Player Prop Picks
André Luiz (SKC) can be wagered to register one or more shots on goal at +125. Those wanting to back him should certainly look at the Shots on Target betting odds available.
Mateusz Bogusz (Houston) has been on the scoresheet in back-to-back MLS home games. We think there’s value in backing him for an Anytime Goalscorer prop bet at +140 which will hopefully see him find the net.
