New England Revoluation at KC Wizards - what a great match up, probably will come down to a 1 - 0 struggle, though I would hope it ends up 6 - 5 or something similar. KC is tough at home, and NE is playing well on the road, getting a tough win at RSL on Saturday. Both teams are not in Superliga, so they should be well rested. Look for NE to create plenty of chances, but in the end, one EJ goal should give KC the win. NE Revolution 0, Kansas City Wizards 1
Columbus Crew at Chicago Fire - The Fire stunned everyone last week with an easy win at Toronto FC, really their first decent match in months. Columbus has been playing well, but has had some time off since their last match, two weeks since they beat Toronto at home. If Chicago can play with the same urgency they displayed last week, they should be able to win. Look for this match to be won in the midfield, and whichever team can control possession, will win, though I see this one pretty close, and I think both teams will be happy with a draw. Columbus Crew 1, Chicago Fire 1
Colorado Rapids at FC Dallas - Colorado seems to be doomed this season, Clavijo should have been fired long ago, and the moves the front office is making seem strange. Colorado is winless in their last 9, with their last win coming on May 26. With new acquisition Medhi Ballouchy suspended by the league for a dirty elbow, their midfield will struggle again to control any part of the match at Dallas. Look for Dallas to score early, and have plenty of chances throughout the match. Colorado Rapids 0, FC Dallas 3
Houston Dynamo at Real Salt Lake - RSL is a much better team now than they were at the start of the season, despite losing Adu. Houston has had a few tough Superliga matches this week, and may be overlooking RSL. The last match like this for RSL was when DC United came in on a 7 game streak without a loss, and ended up losing to RSL when no one expected it. Houston is on a 10 game streak of it’s own, and we may see the same this week. If RSL can score early, they will win, if not, look for Houston to score late and walk away with their streak at 11. For what it is worth, the last time I predicted RSL to lose was the DC United game. Houston Dynamo 1, Real Salt Lake 0
DC United at New England Revolution - Best match up of the week. NE is on a roll, with a win at RSL last Saturday and a win at KC midweek, they are now atop the table in the East. DC is beat up, and the recent Superliga matches have not helped much. NE should dominate this match, though when these two teams get together, you never know what will happen. DC United 1, NE Revolution 3
Los Angeles Galaxy at Toronto FC - Will he or won’t he? Toronto seems to have have lost what they found earlier in the year, a way to stay in matches. That long road trip, where they played nothing but bunker ball really has taken it out of them. They looked horrific at home last week against Chicago. With the loss of Cunningham, they have lost all of their attacking capabilities. The Galaxy haven’t played a league match since July 7, so no one knows exactly what will happen when they take the pitch. While Beckham is a great player, I just don’t see him making much difference at all with this team. LA Galaxy 1, Toronto FC 1
