Best MLS Cup Final Predictions, Odds & MLS Picks 12/09

 

After 34 games each in the regular season, a frantic Playoffs and one giant upset last time out, the MLS Cup final is upon us, as Los Angeles FC and Columbus Crew close out the 2023 MLS season. 

As usual, we’re here for our MLS picks from the best online betting sites.

At the start of the season, LAFC were the favorites with the sportsbooks to claim back-to-back MLS Cups and put itself in a bracket where only LA Galaxy, D.C. United and Houston Dynamo sit - it is now +700 at FanDuel to win 2-1, 3-1 or 4-1.

In fact, the Black and Gold is the underdog in this one, and you can also get odds of +470 for Columbus to win 2-1, 3-1 or 4-1. Let’s take a deeper look into some MLS odds and MLS picks for the last game of 2023.

Columbus vs LAFC Predictions, Odds & Tips 

⭐ MLS Best Bets #1: Columbus to win 2-1, 3-1 or 4-1 (+470) at DraftKings

 

 

 

In reality, this is arguably the toughest game of the season to call. On one hand, you have the MLS Cup defending champions, and on the other, we have the highest-scoring side in North America this season. 

In fact, with 67 goals scored in the 34 regular season games alone, Columbus has gone on to score the most goals in the Playoffs too, racking up 13 in total. It has no doubt been one of the most impressive Playoff runs in recent memory.

The Crew have managed to defeat the top two teams from the Eastern Conference in this magical run, winning 2-0 at Orlando City in what was a sensational extra time display. They then went on to beat the Supporters' Shield winners, Cincinnati, in its own backyard - only one other team managed to do that this season.

This game could go either way, but if your MLS picks heads for a Columbus win, our pick would be to head for the +470 bet for a 2-1, 3-1 or 4-1 win, as it really could end up racking up a few goals

⭐MLS Best Bets #2: Los Angeles to win 2-1, 3-1 or 4-1 (+700) at FanDuel 

 

 

 

Sticking with the same bet but for LAFC, you can get odds of +700 for the underdog to win. However, should LAFC really be the underdog in these MLS odds?

It is the defending MLS Cup champion after a sensational win last year, while it also boasts of the league’s top scorer, Denis Bouanga. 

The Black and Gold haven’t been as good as they were last season, but they did set the ceiling quite high in 2022. This time around, however, LAFC has still managed to win at Seattle Sounders in the Conference Semifinals, putting it in a rare category of teams to actually beat the Sounders in the Playoffs.

LAFC also played Houston off the field in the Conference Finals last weekend, with 18 shots throughout the game and 10 corners in what was a tactical masterclass from head coach, Steve Cherundolo.

MLS Best Bets #3:  Denis Bouanga to score anytime (+165) at Caesars 

 

 

 

What a stunning season it has been for Denis Bounaga. The Gabon international will likely take home the top scorer award, as he sits three goals ahead of Cucho Hernandez. 

The latter could still win the award, as he plays this Saturday too, but it’s doubtful he will bag a hat-trick to level things up with 20 each.

Bouanga has also been the hero throughout the Playoffs, and although he didn't get a goal in the Conference Final against Houston, he scored the winning goal at Vancouver Whitecaps and Seattle.

After being the hero for so long and in so many big games, our MLS picks heads for another Bouanga masterclass - he is +500 to score anytime at Caesars and +900 to score two or more.

 

 


As we look forward to the thrilling MLS matchups today, there's another exciting development on the horizon for sports betting enthusiasts.

This opens up a new realm of opportunities for fans and bettors alike. Stay tuned for more updates on this front.
