Austin FC vs Inter Miami CF MLS 2022: Predictions, Odds and How to Watch on Livestream free

Which clubs will be best positioned in their conference? That will be known until the ball rolls, but before then, here are the predictions for each of these games. 

New England Revolution vs FC Dallas

With goals from Dairon Asprilla and Yimmi Chará, the Revs managed to draw 2-2 with the Portland Timbers, the 2021 MLS Cup runners-up, so their start to the 2022 campaign looks promising after this visit to the Timbers' home.

FC Dallas also had a good start to the season, having opened the scoring at home to Toronto FC, through Jáder Obrian, in a match that ended 1-1. 

New England Revolution wins: 37%.

FC Dallas wins: 48%.

Tie: 15%

Toronto FC vs New York RB

In their debut in the 2022 campaign, Toronto FC made a spectacular comeback in the match against Dallas, and with the help of Jonathan Osorio managed to tie the match, to save 1 point for their harvest. 

On the other hand, New York RB is not wasting time and defeated Matias Almeyda's San Jose Earthquakes with a score of 1-3, with goals from Klimala, Fernandez Mosso, and Barlow. 

Win Toronto FC: 21%.

Win New York RB: 52%. 

Tie: 27%

Sporting Kansas City vs Houston Dynamo

Sporting KC comes from a painful defeat against Atlanta United with a score of 3-1, and the only goal they scored was through Dániel Sallói, who will not be able to save them forever.

For their part, the Dynamo were unable to beat Reak Salt Lake in their season opener and had to settle for a 0-0 draw, which makes it more than evident that the arrival of Héctor Herrera could bring them the clarity they need on the field.

Sporting KC Win: 36%.

Houston Dynamo Win: 36%.

Tie: 28%.

CF Montreal vs Philadelphia Union

Montréal had a nightmarish start to the season: in their visit to Orlando City they were beaten 2-0 and also suffered the expulsion of Romell Quito, so Wilfried Nancy urgently needs to talk to his squad so that they can play a better role in their next match. 

The Union barely managed to save their debut against Minnesota thanks to Cory Burke, but dependence on this player could be their undoing, so the team must go for everything against Montreal. 

Montréal wins: 34%.

Philadelphia wins: 34%

Tie: 32%

San Jose Earthquakes vs Columbus Crew

The SJ Earthquakes need to wake up and realize that the tournament has already started so that they don't repeat the 1-3 drubbing that the NYRB gave them. 

The Crew, on the other hand, did come awake to the tournament and annihilated the Whitecaps, with a 4-0 win, in which Berry, Etienne, Diaz, and Zelarayan showed that they are the ones who rule at home. 

SJ Earthquakes: 30% to win

Columbus Crew win: 50%

Tie: 20% 

Chicago Fire vs Orlando City

The Fire, even with Xherdan Shaqiri on the pitch, could not score a goal and take the win in their visit to Inter Miami, so the match ended with a 0-0 score. So the club must reevaluate its game plan for its match against Orlando.

Alexandre Pato and Benji Michel have already shown Orlando City SC fans that they are ready to take it all after beating Montreal 2-0. 

Chicago Fire Win: 41%.

Orlando City Win: 29%.

Draw: 29% Tie: 29

Vancouver Whitecaps vs New York City FC

The Whitecaps experienced a nightmarish debut in their visit to the Crew, who thrashed them 4-0, and also caused the expulsion of Jake Nerwinski, so they must be more confident and forceful in their next match.

For their part, NYCFC, with everything and "Taty" Castellanos, was unable to stop the Galaxy who, thanks to a sensational goal by "Chicharito", beat them 1-0. Will they manage to correct their course in their next match?

Whitecaps win: 20%

NYCFC Win: 30%

Tie: 40%

Cincinnati vs DC United

Cincinnati had a nightmare MLS 2022 debut as they were thrashed 5-0 by Austin, so Alan Koch needs to seriously rethink his game plan when they host United. 

As for DC United, what they need to do is not change their game plan as they thrashed expansion side Charlotte FC 3-0 in their opener, with a brace from Michael Estrada and a goal from Ola Kamara. 

Cincinnati wins: 40%

DC United Win: 25% 

Draw: 35%

Minnesota United FC vs Nashville SC

Minnesota's Robin Lod scored the first goal of the 2022 MLS campaign, but that wasn't enough to get the win, so they had to split points in a 1-1 draw against the Union.

But Anibal Godoy and Nashville are not about to split anything, and they proved that to the Sounders in a 1-0 win at home.

Minnesota wins: 40%

Nashville Win: 25%

Draw: 35

Colorado Rapids vs Atlanta United

The Rapids were the victim of Carlos Vela and LAFC and were beaten 3-0 in their visit to the Banc of California Stadium, with a hat-trick by the Mexican. Will they manage to recover in their next match?

And they need to do so urgently because Atlanta United also beat Sporting KC 3-1 at home, so Dwyer and Wiley could repeat the dose, without Araújo, who will be out for 4 weeks due to injury. 

Wins Colorado: 40%

Win Atlanta: 30%

Tie: 20%

Real Salt Lake vs Seattle Sounders

RSL couldn't get past the Dynamo as visitors and had to settle for a 0-0 draw, so if they want to start getting points, they had better improve their attack for their next game. 

But if one team needs to improve more than RSL it's the Sounders, who were beaten 1-0 in their opener against Nashville, so Raúl Ruidíaz and company need to improve if they want to be serious MLS Cup contenders. 

Win Real SL: 30%

Seattle Win: 20%

Tie: 50% 

Charlotte FC vs LA Galaxy

The MLS expansion club needs to focus and realize that they are already playing with the big boys, so they don't get blown out 3-0 again as DC United did. 

For their part, the Galaxy just needs to let Javier Hernandez rest, so that he can give another demonstration that he alone can carry the club on his back, as he did against NYCFC, who he scored the 1-0 to close the scoreboard. 

Charlotte wins: 20%.

LA Galaxy Win: 30%.

Tie: 30%
