Brandt Sutton`s Top Picks for the MLS All-Star Game:
- Liga MX All-Stars Tie No Bet (-120)
- Half with most goals: 2nd half (-115)
Prediction Analysis: Half with Most Goals: 2nd half (-115)
It is anticipated that both teams will implement numerous substitutions at halftime to ensure all players receive game time. This disruption in team continuity is often conducive to increased scoring opportunities. Therefore, the prediction favors the second half to see the most goals scored.
Prediction Analysis: Liga MX All-Stars Tie No Bet (-120)
Building on their commanding 4-1 win against the MLS All-Stars last season, the Liga MX All-Stars are predicted to secure another victory. The MLS team`s defense has shown vulnerability in recent All-Star Games, conceding nine goals in their last two outings. This defensive weakness could be exploited by potent attackers such as Alexis Vega, who was instrumental in Toluca`s 2025 Liga MX Clausura title with 13 goals and 11 assists.
