The Los Angeles Galaxy are solid favorites in MLS betting to repeat as MLS champs this season. The Galaxy have superstars like Landon Donovan and David Beckham and they have brought back Edson Buddle after a year’s absence and they were able to hang on to Juninho.  

David Beckham is staying with the Los Angeles Galaxy. He signed a new two-year deal with the team, spurning offers from clubs in Italy, Brazil, England and the Middle East. The Galaxy were very successful vs. the MLS soccer betting odds last year as they won the MLS Cup and with Beckham returning, they will be one of the favorites again in 2012.  

Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League betting favors Bayern Munchen as they visit FC Basel in the round of 16. Also favored on Wednesday, although slightly, is Olympique Marseille as they host Inter Milan. Here is a look at both of those matches.  

Tuesday’s match between Chelsea and Napoli is virtually a pick in Champions League betting at BetDSI Sportsbook. Napoli is at home in the first leg of this round of 16 matchup and the Italian side is very capable of pulling off another upset as they ended Manchester City’s hopes in the group stage.  

Costa Rica and the United States play a friendly on Saturday night at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. The U.S. is favored in soccer odds at Diamond sportsbook for this match that will be televised on ESPN 2 and Galavision.  

Disappointing Under Bradley The United States men’s soccer team in recent years has been a disappointment on the world stage in soccer betting odds. Part of the reason for their failure was head coach Bob Bradley. The U.S. team simply made too many mistakes, lost games they shouldn’t have and failed to live up to expectations. Whether it is fair or not, Bradley gets a big share of the blame.
