Top Major League Soccer games to watch this week
Cincinnati vs Inter Miami: It comes down to this: the winner of this game will sleep as the Eastern Conference leaders. Inter have dodged a few bullets due to Cincinnati's failure to win games when they have dropped points, but with this game being held at TQL Stadium, things might be a bit different for the Orange and Blue. Cincinnati have won three out of the last four MLS matches between these teams, including a one-nil victory against the Herons in October 2023.
[MATCH 4864083]
Real Salt Lake vs Atlanta United: The Claret and Cobalt lost the top spot in the West last week, which is why this game could be key for their options. To go back to 1st place, Real Salt Lake must defeat Atlanta United, one of the struggling teams in the East. Atlanta are currently ninth in their Conference due to a slow start, which eventually led them to fire their coach. Nonetheless, history between these teams shows that the Five Stripes have won three of their four matches against RSL, meaning that if the team from Utah wants to claim three points against Atlanta, they will not have a better chance than Saturday's game.
[MATCH 4949765]
Houston Dynamo vs Los Angeles FC: This Western Conference clash will feature the Dynamo, who saw a four-game run without a loss coming to an end this Wednesday, and the current conference leaders after their win in El Tráfico last Thursday. Fans will be eager to watch this game, as there have not been any draws between these clubs in their last five matches. Those games have ended with two wins for the Black and Gold and three for Sunday's hosts, which means all bets will be off for that clash.
