Props and Specialty Bets: Explore popular soccer prop bets, including “Both Teams to Score” (BTTS), “Correct Score,” “First Goal Scorer,” and player props like total shots or cards received.

Key Tips for Betting Soccer Smarter: Learn what stats matter most in soccer betting — from team form and injuries to head-to-head matchups, goal differential, and lineup rotation based on tournament schedules.

Bonus: Injury Time & Extra Time Basics: Understand how injury time impacts betting results, and why knowing tournament overtime rules is critical before placing knockout-stage bets.

MLS, Wednesday, 10pm ET

Play: Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals
Odds at Time of Release: -150
Line Parameter: Line good to -175

Major Derby in California between the LA Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes, the first California Clasico of the season, with the LA Galaxy still looking for their first win of the season, while San Jose have been hard to beat as of late and will come here looking to extend the Galaxy's misery.

The LA Galaxy are gearing up for their third local derby in a row after a 2-2 draw against LAFC (thanks to a late direct free kick goal by Reus) and a 2-1 loss away at San Diego (thanks to a late goal by San Diego). Offense is starting to pick up as of late with many players coming back from injury, but their defense is very problematic and will be put to the test by a well-oiled San Jose offense. The Galaxy are on a 3-0 run to the Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals and 4-2 in L/6, failing to score in their two away losses in that span, that 7-0 loss to the Red Bulls (where they still generated 2.03 xG) and a 1-0 loss to Kansas where they scored an own goal, Kansas had ZERO xG and the Galaxy had 1.26 xG. Safe to say, they were unlucky not to score in both those matches.

San Jose have the best offense in the West with 32 goals but also the 3rd worst defense with 26 conceded. They are 11-4 to the Over 2.5 goals with an average of 3.9 goals/match. Currently on an 8-3 run to the Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals, also 4-2 on the road. They tend to not score or concede as much on the road, but they are now up against the Galaxy in a California Clasico, so they will definitely look to extend the Galaxy's misery here, and this is a matchup that traditionally produces goal-fests.

H2H: 11-0 run to the Over 2.5 Goals (10-1 to the Both Teams to Score), and 17-2 to the Over 2.5 Goals (and 14-5 to the Both Teams to Score in that span).

In this venue: 4-0 run to the Over 2.5 Goals (and 4-0 to the Both Teams to Score), and 7-1 to the Over 2.5 Goals (and 6-2 to the Both Teams to Score).

The LA Galaxy are heavily pressured for a win and they will eventually get it, what a better way to do it that in a California Clasico? But San Jose can be deadly up front, but also with a leaky defense and looking to play spoiler. It won't take much for this to blow up to a goal-fest.

Consultant Bio

Pavlos betting on European sports when he was in High School, back when most people his age didn't even know how to bet. After acquiring a Bachelor's Degree in International Economic Relationships and development from the Democritus University in Greece, Pavlos took a different path.

Things really took off for him in 2014 when he officially started writing predictions for US-based sites. Things picked up pretty quickly, and he has produced thousands upon thousands of match previous and predictions. He tends to venture off the beaten path, looking for hidden gems in a myriad of games you can bet on.

Single and double bets aside, Pavlos likes to play the odds as well. While some days there are safe single bets, there are other days that provide opportunities for different bets. Bets like Correct Scores, amount of Yellow Cards, Half-Time/Full-Time results, and all kinds of prop bets. Pavlos covers the following leagues: Major League Soccer (MLS), Copa America, EURO Cup, English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, French Ligue 1, Champions League, and Europa League.

The betting systems he created have seen some massive pay-outs over the years. A couple of correct scores paired together can potentially save your entire season. These are small-stake bets that cost a few units but could bring massive returns on your investment.
