April 23rd: Thursday’s MLS Double – 7/1 Special, Betting Tips & Predictions

With a stacked midweek MLS schedule pencilled in, there are a host of eye-catching showdowns from across both the Eastern and Western Conference respectively.

Watching Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami travel to Utah for what should be a fanatic affair against Real Salt Lake, there are 11 MLS scheduled in the early hours of Thursday.

For those of you looking to stick on a midweek flutter, we have taken a glance at some of Thursday’s most appealing MLS betting tips.

02:30 Real Salt Lake vs Inter Miami 

Watching Javier Mascherano shockingly announce his resignation last week, Inter Miami have endured a turbulent time over the past few days. However, watching new boss Guillermo Hoyos get his tenure underway with a rollercoaster 3-2 victory away at Colorado, the Herons are regarded as standout Eastern Conference title contender this season. However, marking their return from March’s international break with consecutive 2-2 stalemates against New York Red Bulls and Austin, the American heavyweights are searching for some crucial stability. In fact, Inter Miami have played out a draw in five of their last seven matchups across all competitions. It’s also worth highlighting, Thursday’s guests have shipped a pair of goals in each of their previous four straight MLS showdowns. Likewise, Hoyos’ new squad have also mustered just a sole clean sheet from their last four consecutive domestic battles.

While Real Salt Lake might have shown a string of inconsistencies last season, Pablo Mastroeni’s side have embarked on a sensational flurry this time around. Cementing their spot as one of the MLS’ ultimate surprise packages since opening up the 2026 campaign, RSL certainly find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Last seen over the weekend putting in another action-packed display as they secured a thrilling 4-2 victory at home against San Diego, the Claret and Cobalt are riding a major wave of momentum. Marking their return from March’s international break with a 3-1 win against Sporting KC, Thursday’s hosts have registered 16 points from their last six MLS showdowns. Likewise, Mastroeni’s men have notched 16 goals in their first seven domestic appearances and they will be looking to make another major statement here.

03:30 San Jose Earthquakes vs Austin FC 

Flying out of the traps since opening up the 2026 campaign, San Jose have certainly cemented their spot as one of the MLS’ ultimate surprise packages. With the mood around California at a red-hot high, Bruce Arena’s men are riding a major wave of momentum and they have rightfully received a string of praise. Remarkably opening the midweek fixtures sat with just their goal difference keeping them off top spot in the Western Conference, the Goonies will be looking to make another statement here. Last seen laying down a staggering marker as they stormed their way to a 4-1 romp away at bitter local rivals Los Angeles, Arena’s men have astonishingly won all of their previous five consecutive MLS appearances by an aggregate score of 13-2. With their purple patch highlighted by a thumping 3-1 victory against Sporting KC earlier in the month, San Jose have also gained a reputation for their clinical performances in the final third.

Showing a string of issues since getting proceedings underway back in February, Austin find themselves at the heart of what has been an extended struggle. Eventually forced to settle for an action-packed 3-3 stalemate against Toronto last weekend, Nico Esteves’s downbeat squad are scrapping it out at the foot of the Western Conference standings. Watching their US Open Cup adventure come to a shock end earlier in the month as they were hit with a 2-1 loss against USL outfit Louisville City, Thursday’s guests have failed to win any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions – a rut that stems back to March 1st. Likewise, including a 2-1 defeat at home against LA Galaxy earlier in the month, Austin have shipped nine goals in their last four outings. Given what has been a huge recent gulf in class between Thursday’s opponents, Los Verdes have another huge challenge on their hands in midweek.
