Just four matchdays remain until the MLS regular season pauses for the 2026 FIFA World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Here’s what to expect during Matchday 12’s must-see games, which include a Sunday Night Soccer presented by Continental Tire doubleheader.<\/p>\n Live trade MLS games and props on\u00a0Polymarket<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2014 Major League Soccer (@MLS) May 7, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n Inter Miami<\/a>\u00a0head north of the border in search of a bounce-back result, having suffered a 4-3 defeat<\/a> against Florida Derby rivals Orlando City<\/a> last weekend.<\/p>\n That result extended the defending MLS Cup presented by Audi champions’ struggles to begin life at Nu Stadium. They’ve gone 0W-1L-3D at their new home.<\/p>\n Despite that, Lionel Messi<\/a> remains in Landon Donovan MLS MVP-caliber form with 8g\/2a in 10 games. He is two goals off the Golden Boot presented by Audi pacesetters.\u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Toronto FC<\/a> conclude a 10-game home stretch against one of the league’s most talented sides.<\/p>\n They’re weathering an injury storm as of late, with club-record signing Josh Sargent<\/a>, USMNT<\/a> midfielder Djordje Mihailovic<\/a> and CanMNT<\/a> fullback Richie Laryea<\/a> among those missing games.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Look for D\u00e1niel Sall\u00f3i<\/a> and Jonathan Osorio<\/a> to lead the Reds, who are chasing their first win since early April.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Walmart Saturday Showdown heads to Lumen Field, where the Seattle Sounders<\/a> have won all three matches this year.<\/p>\n The Rave Green look like trophy contenders again in 2026. Their 2.22 points per game are fourth in MLS, and they’re firmly in the Western Conference hunt despite playing a league-low nine games.<\/p>\n Sounders midfielder Cristian Roldan<\/a> is hunting a USMNT roster spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and Jes\u00fas Ferreira<\/a> has provided a team-high five assists.<\/p>\n San Diego FC<\/a> are the underdog for this matchup, stuck in an eight-game winless rut in MLS action.<\/p>\n This comes after SDFC topped the Western Conference table in 2025 as an expansion club, tallying a historic 63 points and 19 wins.<\/p>\n Anders Dreyer<\/a>, the 2025 MLS Newcomer of the Year, remains in strong form with 5g\/6a in 11 matches. But the Danish international can only do so much, and San Diego’s defense has conceded too frequently (19 goals).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Minnesota United<\/a>\u00a0have quietly been among the best teams in MLS lately, winning five of their last six games to surge up the table.<\/p>\n Kelvin Yeboah<\/a> is their top scorer with seven goals, and midfielders Joaqu\u00edn Pereyra<\/a> and Tom\u00e1s Chancalay<\/a> have both dished out a team-best four assists.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The Loons added James Rodr\u00edguez<\/a> over the winter to much fanfare, but the Colombian superstar has seldom featured \u2013 and his Loons tenure is reportedly winding down.<\/p>\n Austin FC<\/a> are also in strong form, rattling off consecutive 2-0 wins at home in recent matchdays.<\/p>\n Last weekend’s victory was especially cathartic, as USMNT striker Brandon Vazquez<\/a> and midfielders Owen Wolff<\/a> and Dani Pereira<\/a> all returned from injury.<\/p>\n They join star attackers Myrto Uzuni<\/a> and Facundo Torres<\/a>, giving the Verde & Black their first-choice group ahead of the World Cup pause.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n \n
