Chivas USA at NY Red Bull - Chivas has been good, but has been horrible on the road. NY on the other hand, has seem to have found their defense, but now they can’t score. No shots on goal for Angel in 4 games (one he was out for a suspension). Chivas can go a long way to show they are for real with a win on the road at NY, while NY really needs a game where they can blow out the other team to show they are back in business. I see Chivas playing well, they can score anywhere, but just can’t defend on the road, and NY can’t score anywhere. We may see a tie, but I doubt it. Chivas USA 2, NY Red Bull 1
NE Revolution at Real Salt Lake - Real has completely made over their horrific midfield in the last few weeks. With both Beckerman and Sturgis now playing D-Mid, they are both ball winners and ball holders, have done a great job in their two friendlies at controlling the match. Look for Real to make one bonehead defensive mistake and give up a goal that should never have happened, and look for them to score now that they have a decent midfield who can hold the ball. NE Revolution 1, Real Salt Lake 3
Chicago Fire at Toronto FC - Toronto returns home after the 6 most boring matches ever played on the road. Bunker Bob is back. Hopefully, Toronto, now they are back home, they will open up a bit and play some good soccer. Chicago is suffering, but a decent tie at home against Celtic with Blanco now in tow may give them some confidence. I am not sure it will be enough to beat Toronto, but who knows. Chicago Fire 0, Toronto FC 0
Chivas USA at Kansas City - Best game of the week. Chivas and KC love to both run, and this could be a wide open match. Chivas will be on 3 days rest, and may look to counter attack and just hope for a point out of this one. With a tough match in NY, I think it will depend on how that match goes. A win, and they may sit back, a tie or loss, and they may feel they have to attack to pick up points. EJ is on fire, why isn’t anyone else in the world after this guy besides Derby? Could you imagine this guy in Spain or Portugal in a free flowing league? Chivas USA 2, Eddie Johnson 2 In other words, a tie.
