Correct Score Prediction
2
-
1
New York City
An exciting bet could be a 2-1 victory in favor of Salt Lake at odds of +575. A correct score wager provides a fun alternative and a nice potential return on the cards.
Player Prop Picks
Noel Caliskan (RSL) can be wagered at +190 to record at least one shot on goal. He looks like a value bet on the Shots on Target market and we recommend backing this player prop pick.
Diego Luna (RSL) has netted four goals in his past nine MLS matches on home soil. We think there’s value in backing him for an Anytime Goalscorer prop bet at +220 which will hopefully see him find the net.
