If you bet on Major League Soccer (MLS), the chances are that you’re familiar with MLS team props. However, with dozens of different options to choose from, it can often be difficult to know which markets to target.
In truth, that’s exactly why we put together this MLS team props betting guide. If you want to learn about the best MLS team prop bets and how to make full use of them, be sure to digest all the useful information on this page.
Total Team Goals (Over/Under)
This market gives you the chance to predict whether a team will score over or under a certain number of goals in a game. For example, you could back Los Angeles FC to score over 2.5 goals, or you might back Toronto FC to score under 1.5 goals.
Exact Team Total Goals
While the previous market allows you to choose over or under a certain number of goals, this market enables you to predict the exact number of goals. Naturally, the odds in this market tend to be higher, as it’s more difficult to predict the exact number of goals.
Team Total Goals (Odd/Even)
You can even bet on whether a team will score an odd or even number of goals. Typically, the even odds are lower, while the odd prices are higher. That’s because a team is more likely to score 1 goal as opposed to 0 or 2 goals.
Team Clean Sheet
This is one of the more straightforward MLS team props out there, as you’re simply wagering on whether a team will keep a clean sheet (not concede a goal). Bookies will give you two options here – yes and no. All you need to do is choose which option to go for.
To Win By 2+ Goals
This market is handy for when you think a team will win by a sizeable margin. The odds in this market are always higher than the moneyline odds, and you can often find prices for 3+ and 4+ goals if you want even higher odds.
To Win From Behind
No prizes for guessing what this MLS prop is all about! That’s right – you’re betting on a team to win after going behind. For example, if you’re backing the New York Red Bulls in this market, you would need them to fall behind before coming back to claim victory.
To Win to Nil
Essentially, this wager mixes the moneyline market and the clean sheet market. Not only are you backing a team to win, but you’re also backing that team to prevent the opponent from scoring throughout the match.
Correct Score Combinations
This MLS team prop enables you to choose correct score combinations for each team involved in a game. For example, you could back Atlanta United to win 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0, or you might back FC Dallas to win 2-1, 3-1 or 4-1.
