MLS Cup Winners Odds, Predictions, Betting Picks 2023

• Major League Soccer 2023 season will be underway on February 25, 2023
• The campaign is divided into a regular season, and playoffs
• Los Angeles FC are the defending MLS Cup champions

 It isn’t going to be easy to top last season – last season’s dramatic final between Los Angeles FC (LAFC) and Philadelphia Union has been dubbed the greatest MLS game of all time. 

In fact, the game shared a lot of traits with the FIFA World Cup final – both games were decided on penalties after ending 3-3 with extra time. Gareth Bale was LAFC’s hero with a late, late equalizer, which took the game to penalties. 

Bale, who was expected to take the field for the 2023 season, announced his retirement from professional football earlier in the year. Even though the Welsh legend won’t be available, Italian legend Giorgio Chiellini will continue playing for the champions. It looks like he’ll be joined by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. 

The Gabon international has played for some of the best clubs in Europe and was a star of the 2010s. He would be a fantastic addition to the MLS. Speaking of star names from the last decade, Lorenzo Insigne will get a full season for Toronto FC. His former Italian teammate Federico Bernadeschi will be playing alongside him. 

Bernadeschi’s decision to play in the MLS during his prime years was a massive moment last season – he wasn’t the only one, of course. will encourage many other European stars to look at the MLS as an option. Riqui Puig was one such player – he joined the Los Angeles Galaxy in the summer. 

Of course, it’s great that the MLS is attracting such talent, but the team composition is the most important factor – something the two finalists had. It’s something that Inter Miami owner David Beckham is still searching for, and legendary player Wayne Rooney will be hoping to build in his first full season as manager of DC United. 

Elsewhere, local talents like Matt Turner and Brenden Aaronson have crossed the Atlantic to play in the Premier League, but it shouldn’t take away from the MLS’ rise in status in the last 12-18 months.

Who Will Win The Major League Soccer 2023 Title?

LAFC started last season as the favorites and ended the season with a title. They head into the new season as the favorites as well, but recent history suggests that defending an MLS title is an improbable task. 

The last team to achieve the feat were Los Angeles Galaxy in 2013. So many of the teams underwent big changes in the summer, and more will go through the same in the coming summer – it’s why predicting a winner right now is really difficult. 

The likes of Toronto FC could spring a surprise, Los Angeles Galaxy looked a different side following Puig’s arrival, and the likes of Philadelphia Union and New York City FC still have strong sides.
