With America’s elite making their return from March’s international break this weekend, there are plenty of eye-catching MLS battles in the early hours of Sunday.
As Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami steal centre stage this weekend, we have 12 MLS showdowns pencilled from both the Eastern and Western Conference respectively.
For those of you looking to stick on a weekend flutter, we have taken a glance at some of Sunday’s most attractive MLS betting tips.
00:30 Inter Miami vs Austin FC
After relinquishing their MLS crown last season, Inter Miami have made their expectations clear this time around. Last seen heading into March’s international break with an action-packed 3-2 victory away at New York City, Javier Mascherano’s side have plenty of pressure on their shoulders in 2026. Suffering Champions Cup heartbreak at the hands of Nashville last month and coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, the Herons will now have their sole focus on MLS duties. Getting the new campaign underway with a woeful 3-0 drumming against Los Angeles on February 22nd, Inter Miami are also searching for some much-welcomed defensive steel. Mustering just a single MLS clean sheet so far this season, the American giants will be desperate to pounce on a golden opportunity this weekend.
Watching their MLS play-off adventure come to a thumping end last season as they slumped to a 6-2 aggregate defeat against Los Angeles, Austin have continued to show some glaring issues since opening up the new campaign. Mustering just a single victory from any of their first five MLS appearances this year, Nico Estevez’s side mark their return from March’s fortnight interval this weekend bracing themselves for a monumental challenge in Florida. With their downbeat start to proceedings underlined by a routine 3-1 loss at the hands of Charlotte last month, Austin have also gained a reputation for their issues on the road. Continuing on from last season, the Greens have lost their previous five consecutive matchups away from the Q2 Stadium across all competitions.

03:30 LA Galaxy vs Minnesota
While LA Galaxy might have extended on their Champions Cup adventure last month as they secured a routine 6-0 aggregate win against Jamaican outfit Mount Pleasant, Greg Vanney’s camp have endured another downbeat domestic rut. Once again showing some real inconsistencies since opening up the 2026 campaign, the California based outfit have plenty of pressure on their shoulders this season. Only registering five points in as many MLS appearances so far this year, LA Galaxy could have an uphill battle on their hands in the race to punch a play-off finish in the Western Conference. With their worrying start underlined by a 4-1 drumming against Colorado on March 8th, Vanney’s side will be desperate to claim a much-welcomed boost here.
Although Minnesota might have opened up the 2026 campaign regarded as a standout contender to claim another play-off ticket in the Western Conference, Cameron Knowles’ side have drastically failed to find their feet. Last seen heading into March’s international break with a 0-0 stalemate at home against Seattle, the Loons have registered just a single win from any of their first five MLS appearances. Coming under real scrutiny last month as they slumped to a woeful 6-0 drumming at the hands of Vancouver, Minnesota have shown some worrying issues at both ends of the pitch. Along with already shipping 11 MLS strikes this season, Sunday’s guests have also notched just a single strike in almost 300 minutes of action.
