eMLS Amateur Cup aims to find the best FIFA player in North America. There are two phases to the competition: the club champion and the overall league champion. The national winner earns a trip to MLS Cup. Since the Audi MLS playoffs expanded past four teams from each conference in 2014, teams that begin the playoffs on the road don't win MLS Cups. New York City FC, Toronto FC and Seattle FC are in the playoff race. They have won all their games on road on their way to winning the title. Philadelphia FC is the only team that has won the MLS title on home soil.
The Coyotes are on track to get a home playoff game at GEODIS Park. The Loons have been inconsistent this year. Portland won the MLS Cup. The Galaxy and Portland are the most difficult teams in the Western Conference. Nashville is a more likely threat to make a run. Dallas is the team with the best record. LA Galaxy are a team that is struggling. They haven't been all that good at all this season. Minnesota are struggling with Bakaye Dibassy's injury. MLS champions Portland have a lot of talent. It's unlikely in a difficult conference. they are good on the road and at home.
The Eastern Conference has a chance to win MLS Cup. The Herons have struggled on the road this season. Atlanta are unlikely to make the playoffs, but they have a good chance of winning a home playoff game. The 2020 Crew team played zero road games on their way to winning MLS Cups. They are not going to be successful. It's a myth that the 2020 crew won the Cup on its way. I love the Knifey Lions as a dark horse pick. Their attacking trio is good, they've been improving defensively and they play well on defense. However, I don't see them winning the MLS title. they're not likely to get a playoff spot.
