Game Overview
Sporting Kansas City hosts Houston Dynamo in the 2025 MLS season finale. Sporting Kansas City has struggled with a 0-5 run in their last five matches, placed 14th in the Western Conference.

San Jose Earthquakes host Austin FC in the closing match of the MLS regular season. San Jose enters as slight favorites at home, supported by better recent form and Austin's injury absences. The match is expected to be competitive but with a moderate chance for goals.
Key Factors to Consider
San Jose Earthquakes have shown more consistent results at home, recently trending positively. Austin FC have struggled offensively due to key absences and mixed recent form.
Recent meetings between these teams have been tightly contested with few clear dominant trends, but San Jose has an edge in home encounters.
Austin FC will miss key forwards Diego Rubio (hamstring) and Brandon Vazquez (knee) and have Osman Bukari questionable, which limits their attacking options. San Jose has no major absences reported.
Match played under typical conditions with no unusual environmental factors. The season finale nature may influence motivation differently for both sides.
San Jose Earthquakes motivated to secure a strong finish at home and potentially improve playoff positioning. Austin FC may be limited in motivation due to squad constraints and season status.

In previous 7 encounters, Seattle has shown stronger first half performance but NYCFC has a better recent home scoring trend. Overall balance is competitive but recent trends favor NYCFC on home soil.
No critical injuries reported that drastically weaken either side; both teams expected to field strong lineups including NYCFCβs Alonso MartΓnez and Seattleβs Jordan Morris.

Charlotte FC hosts Philadelphia Union in a key late-season MLS matchup, with both teams in strong playoff positions and Charlotte looking to secure a top-4 finish, while Philadelphia is already locked in as the #1 seed.
Key Factors to Consider
Charlotte FC is on a 5-0 winning streak, including recent shutouts in 5 of 7 home games. Philadelphia Union is 20-7-6, but may rotate squad ahead of playoffs.
Recent meetings favor Philadelphia, but no recent H2H data is available in the search results. Charlotteβs recent form is notably stronger.
Charlotteβs captain C. Fuchs (DEF) is out indefinitely with a groin/pelvis injury, potentially weakening a strong home defense[1].
Home-field advantage for Charlotte is significant, especially with a playoff spot at stake. No weather or venue concerns reported.
Charlotte is highly motivated to secure top-4 home-field advantage, while Philadelphia may rest players as the #1 seed, impacting their intensity[2].

Atlanta United FC hosts D.C. United in a late-season MLS match between two struggling teams. Both sides are near the bottom of the table with nearly identical dire recordsβAtlanta has lost three straight, including a 4-0 drubbing at Inter Miami, while D.C. United has also dropped three in a row, most recently falling at home to Charlotte FC 1-0. Neither side has been convincing in attack or defense, as reflected by their low points-per-game ratios and poor goal differentials. This is a classic 'desperation derby' with little playoff relevance, potentially favoring home momentum and individual moments over structured play[2][7].
Key Factors to Consider
Atlanta United FC and D.C. United are among the worst teams in MLS, both on poor runs (three straight losses) and conceding over 1.8 goals per game. D.C. has the marginally better defense (1.88 xGA per 90 vs. Atlantaβs 1.94), but both have been porous all season, allowing at least 1.5 xGA per match. Atlanta averages just 0.82 points per game while D.C. is also near the bottom. Neither attacks: Atlanta has only 27 total points, D.C. 25; both have negative goal differentials above -25. Team news suggests full-strength (predicted) XIs, but morale and confidence are at rock bottom[2][7].
Recent H2H meetings have produced one goalless draw, but historically these are low-scoring, cautious affairs, despite both teamsβ defensive woes this season. Neither side has dominated recent matchups or shown a tendency to run up scores (a key reason to bet under goals, despite recent leaks). The last encounter was a 0-0, illustrating how both teams can negate each other[2].
No significant injuries reported for either sideβboth fielding predicted best XIs with Hibbert (GK, Atlanta) and Farr (GK, D.C.) likely starting[2][7].
Late-season fixture after both sides are eliminated from playoff contention, potentially increasing the risk of a disjointed, uninspired contest. Weather and pitch conditions are standard, no unusual disruptions expected.
Zero. Both teams are eliminated, playing out the string. The only motivation is to avoid further embarrassment, which could produce a cagey, unattractive affairβpotentially benefitting defensive or under wagers.
