MLS Soccer is in transition with the Olympic break upon us with Olympic Soccer starting on Wednesday.
But tonight features the MLS All-Star Game between the top players of the MLS and Liga MX in Columbus, Ohio.
Naturally, the US betting sites reflect what may happen with the MLS All-Stars once again the favorites.
Apple TV and Apple TV+ are streaming options if a game is not available locally and our team at The Panel have checked out the stats, guides and key players ahead of this eagerly awaited fixture, as well as picking out the three betting predictions.
MLS All-Stars vs. Liga MX All-Stars (O/U 3.5, MLS -125)
The MLS All-Stars team goes up against a Liga MX team that they are pretty familiar with, but what is interesting is that both previous meetings featured MLS victories.
One was via penalties and the other was a 2-1 triumph. Many were expecting a routine win by the MLS side until the news came down on Monday.
When Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi were announced to be out due to injury, the numbers slightly changed. The MLS side possesses a little more depth than in previous years.
The “home” pitch benefits the MLS, and the Under of 3.5 goals may be intriguing, given the latest news. Following social media may be beneficial, along with waiting a little to see where the numbers go on Wednesday night.
soccer betting sites are pretty zeroed in on the Moneyline for MLS.
The Under of 3.5 tumbles in at -130, but can we rely on these two bets this Wednesday night?
The MLS has given up a goal in each of these two All-Star Games, which introduces another potential wager. The depth of the MLS tilts this toward a win in regulation.

Going Under On Wednesday Night
MLS soccer loves showcasing its signature event. However, with the Olympics starting and the Copa plus Euro 2024 just ending, some players may not be there or be in the best of form.
If Suarez and Messi were in the lineup, the Over would be more plausible here.
Still, the Under carries some risk on Wednesday night. This is because Suarez ironically has become more of a depth player and Messi is more of a goal-scoring specialist in the MLS (12 goals, 5 assists in 18 games).
The expectation is to see quite a few scoring chances but a 2-1 projected score feels likely.
Furthermore, Luis Malagon is an extremely crafty goaltender from the Mexican league. His goalkeeping has been very good in previous contests and Wednesday figures to be no exception.
Do not underestimate Hugo Lloris from the MLS either, who has made many clutch saves this year for LAFC.
Our pick here is to play that Under and maybe look at a goaltender like Malagon if any save props should open up before the game begins on Wednesday night.
The Panel Pick 2: MLS and Liga MX All-Stars Under 3.5 Goals - -110 With DraftKings
Both Teams Score Plus A Regulation Result
The All-Star Game is expected to see a few goals scored, but what if we take on the added no-draw option?
The Both Teams To Score is currently a whopping -285, but that same BTTS with no draw is only -125. Which is quite the difference.
The risk is palpable but on smaller wagers easier to digest. This is an All-Star Game and, as such, not using too much bankroll is prudent. Again, do watch for the potential of last-minute scratches.
Either side can score goals and the Both Teams To Score bet is pretty stable for now, stating around -275 or so.
Anyhow, there are some fascinating betting options on the MLS side, so watch for those leading at halftime/fulltime numbers during the afternoon on Wednesday.
Finally, keep an eye on the Olympic soccer match in the afternoon when the United States men's team takes on France.
The French are solid favorites to win after the American exit at the Copa America, but and expectation of both teams to score with a result on Wednesday night is the play.
