MLS continues its course this weekend, with a new day full of interesting matches when all teams want to score as many points as possible to ensure their qualification to the playoffs.
All the teams have the mission to win the MLS Cup, so the best thing for them is to leave everything on the field daily to arrive in excellent shape for the postseason.
Right now, Inter Miami continues to dominate the Eastern Conference with an 8-point lead over FC Cincinnati and a 10-point lead over Columbus Crew. On the other hand, in the West, LA Galaxy remains in the lead with 52 points, but LAFC, with two games less played, follows them with 48 points, and Real Salt Lake woke up again and is third with 47 points.
As we can see, we will have an exceptional closing of the regular season in MLS, so every game will be fascinating.
Now, one of the best matches we will have in this MLS weekend will be the “Hell is Real” derby between FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew, which will be played this Saturday.

Why Bet on FC Cincinnati?
FC Cincinnati has had a really good season, there is no doubt about that. However, they could not maintain the ideal pace of play that would allow them to fight toe-to-toe with Inter Miami for the Eastern Conference lead.
While they can still fight for the top, Cincinnati depends on the results of their opponents, something they cannot control in any case.
Cincinnati’s record is 16 wins, three ties, and eight losses, with 48 goals for and 36 against. In addition, after losing to Philadelphia in the Round of 16 of the Leagues Cup, they lost to Inter Miami by 0-2 and then defeated Montreal with a convincing score of 4-1.
Why Bet on Columbus Crew?
On the other hand, the Columbus Crew, the reigning MLS champions, have the main objective of taking the three points in this match to take over the second place in the Eastern Conference.
The Crew are coming from being champions of the Leagues Cup 2024, but that does not mean they will have a resounding success in the rest of the MLS season. Although they are third and have had positive results throughout the campaign, we all know that anything can happen in the playoffs.
Columbus comes into this matchday after beating Philadelphia (1-0) and NYC FC (4-2), but they were annihilated at home in their most recent match by the Seattle Sounders, with a terrible score of 0-4. In this sense, we should mention the curious situation regarding their goalkeeper, with the fourth option, Abraham Romero, having to feature due to international compromises and injuries. He received a red card towards the end of the first half, with no goalkeepers on the bench.
They now have a golden opportunity to get back to winning ways and knock FC Cincinnati out of second place in the East.
