6/16/07 – MLS Predictions Predictions

FC Dallas at Real Salt Lake – RSL is a much better team the last few weeks, with ties on the road against good teams. RSL should have beaten FCD the first week or the season, but tied on a last minute goal by Ruiz. FCD is without Ruiz and Cooper this week. Their speed should cause RSL problems, but RSL shouldn’t have any problem winning, if they can get their shots on goal. FC Dallas 1, RSL 3

Columbus Crew at NE Revolution – Columbus has not been playing well at all, going 0-4-2 the last 6 matches. NE was playing well prior to the loss of their Gold Cup players, but playing at home against a Columbus side looking for a tie, they should roll pretty easily. Columbus 0, NE Revolution 2

Chicago at DC United – With the win at home last week against NYRB, DC appears to be back. Well, back enough to be considered in the top half of the league. They aren’t the dominant team of the first of last year, but are playing better than earlier this year. Chicago has been ok, but not great. Playing on the road, they have been horrible, losing their last three. In theory, DC shouldn’t have a problem, but this is one of those matches where anything could happen. Chicago should play counter attacks, and could easily score a 1 – 0 win. I am going with DCU, but don’t be surprised if Chicago pulls it out in the last 10 minutes. Chicago 0, DC United 1

KC Wizards at NY Red Bull – Well, the leagues best team (KCW) without their best player, playing on the road at NYRB, should be the best match of the week. KC beat NYRB two weeks ago at home with EJ in tow, but this could be different. NY is still beat up, but Angel has been playing like crazy, and should do well again this week. Look for NYRB to eek out a win at home in a defensive match. KC Wizards 1, NYRB 2

Colorado Rapids at Chivas USA – Chivas pulls off a big win on the road in Chicago last week, while Colorado lost on the road in Houston. Chivas plays well at home, while Colorado has lost their road touch of late. Chivas shouldn’t have a problem with the Rapids at home, and should be able to score at will. Colorado 0, Chivas 3

FC Dallas at Toronto FC – Two games on the road for Dallas in 4 days, and Toronto still is a tough place to play. Toronto will be without newly acquired Tyrone Marshall due to red card suspension. All things are pointing to a Dallas loss in this one, but I think, coming off the loss to RSL, they will be looking for at least a point. FC Dallas 2, Toronto FC 2

Real Salt Lake at LA Galaxy – This is RSL’s chance to get back into the playoff race. The Galaxy are easily the league’s worst team right now, and they just traded away their best remaining player in Marshall. Until they get Donovan back, and get Xavier and Beckham in the line up, they may never win again. RSL 2, LA Galaxy 0

  1. “RSL should have beaten FCD the first week or the season, but lost on a last minute goal by Ruiz.”

    RSL didn’t lose, they tied because of the last minute goal.

    Thanks, fixed the post. I wrote this late at night, and wasn’t thinking clearly. I am just so used to RSL losing, it was just habit to write “lost” instead of “tied”.

  3. Since you guys are so slow at posting your predictions i post mine first…
    K.C. vs. Columbus-Kansas City has the most potent attack in the league and Columbus shoots for a tie everytime…KC 3-1 Columbus
