This weekend, we will have the actions and emotions of a matchday 17 of the MLS, with an interesting match between two teams playing at a completely different level. We are talking about the Chicago Fire and LA Galaxy
In the East, Inter Miami and FC Cincinnati do not want to take advantage of each other, as they are still separated by only one point at the top of the standings. On the other hand, Real Salt Lake has not let its foot off the accelerator, but now the gap with the LA Galaxy, its closest rival, is only two points. As a result, neither of the two leaders has a margin of error.
On the other hand, teams like Sporting KC, SJ Earthquakes, New England Revolution, and Chicago Fire have not yet learned that the season has started and are sinking further and further down the standings.

Why Bet on the Chicago Fire?
The Chicago Fire continues to struggle in this 2024 MLS season. They currently sit in second to last place in the league’s Western Conference with a terrible record of two wins, six draws, and eight losses. In addition, they had many offensive and defensive problems so far, with 15 goals scored and 28 conceded in 16 games.
With this, is clear that this team is not in tune, and if they do not change this as soon as possible, the qualification to the postseason will become impossible sooner than later.
The Fire comes into matchday 17 after earning a point in their most recent game with a 1-1 draw against Orlando City.
Why Bet on the LA Galaxy?
On the other hand, the LA Galaxy seems to be back to being that dominant team at the top of MLS like several years ago. The squad is tight, and they have some quality players in important positions.
Currently, the Galaxy is in second place in the MLS Western Conference standings, with a very good record of seven wins, seven draws, and two losses, with 30 goals scored and 23 conceded. Their offense is doing very well, that’s for sure. However, their defense must improve immediately to avoid continuing to draw games left and right.
The Galaxy come into matchday 17 after two consecutive victories, the first against Houston Dynamo by 2-1 and the most recent against FC Dallas, with a 3-1 score.
