MLS Best Bets - September 20

New England Revolution are looking to continue a solid run that has seen the side win their last two.  Victories over New York City and Chicago Fire helped them to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to LA Galaxy, with New England impressing after winning three of the four consecutive away games they have played. Returning to home comforts will see New England very confident after winning eight of their 12 on their own patch and securing the second best home record in the Eastern Conference. With both sides scoring across each of their last five, I do not back the home side to keep a clean sheet. However, I do back them to down an opponent that has lost seven of their 12 on the road. 

FC Dallas are part of a six-way tussle for top-spot in the Western Conference. Currently sat on 43 points and in third, Vancouver are three points ahead in first, while LAFC are three points behind in sixth. Any of the sides losing could see them surrender their position in what is becoming a pulsating race for the top. Three consecutive wins over Sporting Kansas, Minnesota United and Portland Timbers has kept Dallas in the hunt, and they will see their clash against lowly Austin FC as a big chance to secure their third consecutive win at home.
