Soccer Betting Preview for the U.S. Open Cup June 21st Games
Sacramento Republic FC +1 ½ -188 vs Los Angeles Galaxy -1 ½ +134
- When: Tuesday, June 21 at 10:30 pm ET
Sacramento is on a roll. The USL Championship team has won 4-of-5 with a draw. The tie happened in a game against the Oakland Roots back on May 28.
Since the draw, Sacramento Republic has beaten San Antonio 1-0 and Detroit 2-0. In their last on June 18, the underdog in this beat L.A. Galaxy II by a 2-0 score.
This contest takes place at the Los Angeles Galaxy’s home, Dignity Sports Park in Carson, California. The Galaxy is a much better team than the rivals Sacramento faces in the USL Championship.
The L.A. Galaxy play in Major League Soccer. Like Sacramento, the home favorite has played well in their last 3, with a 3-1 win over LAFC, a 4-1 victory against Austin, and a 1-1 draw versus the Portland Timbers.
The Galaxy have played the much better teams. On their field, Los Angeles can cover this handicap.
U.S. Open Cup Pick: Los Angeles Galaxy -1 ½
New York City FC +149 vs New York Red Bulls +155
- When: Wednesday, June 22 at 8:00 pm ET
No doubt, Wednesday’s matchup between New York City FC and the New York Red Bulls is the U.S. Open Cup’s most competitive quarterfinal game.
The Red Bulls have won 3 of their last 4. On May 25, NYRB beat USL Championship team Charlotte FC 3-1. Then on May 28, the Bulls grabbed a 4-1 win over DC United.
But New York Red Bulls lost to Charlotte in the rematch by a 2-0 score. The Red Bulls bounced back with a 2-1 victory over Toronto in their last.
The win could set up the slight home dog for a terrific performance. It’s difficult seeing the Red Bulls pulling off the victory, though.
New York City FC has won 4-of-5 with a draw. The draw happened in their last. Before the draw, NYFC had beaten D.C. United, Chicago Fire, New England Revolution, and Minnesota United in 4 straight. The road chalk wins.
U.S. Open Cup Pick: New York City FC
Union Omaha SC +1 ½ -156 vs Sporting Kansas City -1 ½ +113
- When: Wednesday, June 22 at 8:30 pm ET
Sporting Kansas City faces a decent USL Championship team. Union Omaha has won 3-of-5 with a loss and a draw. The loss happened in their last, a 2-0 match versus Greenville Union.
The odds on the home favorite implies a tough match. Sporting KC had lost 2 straight, versus Vancouver and New England, before beating Nashville 2-1 in on June 19.
But although Kansas City isn’t in great form overall, the win versus Nashville could be a sign the form is turning positive. The handicap payout odds make the home squad more than playable.
U.S. Open Cup Pick: Sporting Kansas City -1 ½
