Here are some of our top picks for this week’s slate of fixtures…</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/usa/us-major-league-soccer/dc-utd-v-inter-miami-cf-9504097">D.C. United vs Inter Miami</a> match may not provide value in terms of the moneyline bet, as the hosts are without a win since June 1 (12 matches across all competitions). However, the ‘No’ outcome in the ‘Both Teams to Score’ market could be worth a shot. In that stretch, the hosts have played five games at home and have failed to score in three of them.</p> <p>Expect the Philadelphia Union to bounce back when they take on the Chicago Fire this weekend. The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/usa/us-major-league-soccer/philadelphia-v-chicago-fire-9504098">betting odds</a> for this game suggest a home win, but value can be found in the ‘Yes’ for ‘Both Teams to Score’. Philly is strong at home; 13 wins in the last 20 matches, but both teams score frequently. Chicago can find the net even when losing, making the likelihood of the game ending with a clean sheet unlikely. With this in mind, perhaps the ‘Philadelphia 2 - 1’ offers value.</p>
