Round of 16: Tuesday, May 21 – Wednesday, May 22

Charleston Battery vs Atlanta United FC

Atlanta United, because they’re an MLS squad, will be the favorite, but Charleston Battery has some advantages heading into the match. Charleston plays on their pitch.

However, that’s not the only advantage. ATL U has won a single match in their last 5 while Charleston is on a 5-match winning streak. Backing the projected underdog makes sense.

Sacramento Republic FC vs San Jose Earthquakes

Although the home team is in better form overall, Sacramento Republic is difficult to back. For sure, Sacramento has an edge because this happens in front of of their fans.

Still, even though San Jose is on a 2-match losing streak, before falling to Portland and Orlando City, SJ Earthquakes had won 3 straight in Major League Soccer. San Jose gets it done.

LAFC vs Loudon United FC

When the spread line comes out, jump on LAFC to cover. The line could end up something enormous like LAFC -2.5 goals. Even if it is massive, back the Los Angeles Football Club.

Loudon United isn’t in great form. Also, this happens in Los Angeles and LAFC has begun to wind it up, winning 3 straight and 4-of-5.

Indy Eleven vs Detroit City FC

Indy Eleven won the last head to head on March 30 this year, which gives the home team an edge. Another edge is that Indy has won 5 straight.

In addition, this happens on Indy Eleven’s grass and Detroit City shows 2 wins, 2 draws, and a loss in their last 5. Indy has won their last two over Miami FC and Hartford by a combined 7 goals to 2. So consider laying the goals if the possible payout is worth it.

Tampa Bay Rowdies vs FC Dallas

Both teams show 3 wins in their last 5. The difference between the two is that Tampa has lost two matches, versus Memphis and Birmingham Legion, while Dallas has lost a match against Toronto and drew versus Houston Dynamo.

Dallas, the MLS team, should have no trouble winning this. Consider backing the spread line if the payout is solid because FC Dallas has performed well against much superior teams than the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Seattle Sounders FC vs Phoenix Rising FC

The Sounders aren’t in fantastic form. They can turn the corner on Wednesday because Seattle should cover the spread line against Phoenix Rising.

The USL Championship squad is in okay form, but they’ve taken on fellow USL Championship squads. Seattle is a legit Major League Soccer team that has won 2 and drawn twice and suffered a single loss in their last 5. Seattle covers.
