coach and former FC Barcelona manager, Gerardo Martino, begin their MLS season in late February at home to Real Salt Lake \u2013 look to land the MLS Cup victory at the end of the season at the end of the year, hoping to mark the first time in the David Beckham-founded side\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emerging as impressive betting favorites at odds of +309 to win the MLS cup at the end of the year, Inter Miami have emerged ahead of last season\u2019s finalists and prior victors, Los Angeles FC \u2013 who are currently drawing odds of +606.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure

set to kick off in the coming week \u2013 in what is sure to be one of the most competitive campaigns to date yet, a host of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/usasportsbetting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"

as well as prop bets including MVP winners, and Golden Boot winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leading the line for Inter Miami this season will be the likes of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/us-major-league\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MLS<\/a>&nbsp;vintage, Josef Martinez, as well as former FC Barcelona treble winners, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, as well as Uruguayan forward, Luis Suarez \u2013 who joins the franchise this season following his move back in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>And of course, amid his battle with injury, former&nbsp;Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain star, Argentine World Cup winner, Lionel Messi has more than likely led the line for those opening odds for Inter Miami, as the former Newell Old Boys youngster looks to round out his career with a tournament win in the United States.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as the Golden Boot race is concerned, last season\u2019s winner Denis Bouanga of Los Angeles FC is sure to face some stiff competition this campaign to boot, with the Gabonese international scoring a stunning 25 goals last season.<\/p>\n\n\n<div

forward, Neymar during his pomp \u2013 as well as running roughshod through the Premier League in England with Liverpool, a career swansong award for the Uruguayan striker is surely worth a punt for eagle-eyed bettors this season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing is apparent ahead of a massive MLS season \u2013 which is sure to likely bring with it record viewing figures the world over, the
