Columbus Crew are now obviously in downtrend, and I thought crisis will come after they struggled exactly against San Jose few weeks ago (won 3-2).

Since that match against Earthquakes they played 3 games, and recorded one draw and two defeats, but their main problem was scoring goals - more than 270 minutes without goal scored.

They are red hot favorites to win this match, but I dont think it will be that easy.

San Jose are clear underdogs here, but I think those prices are out of mind and 6.50 for guests here is value bet in my opinion.

San Jose @6.50 centrebet, stanjames

Chicago are flying high at the moment, and after defeat against in-form Houston, they bounced back in best possible manner and thrashed New York away from home, with 5 goals scored.

They play D.C. United at home now, and I think they are favorites to win this match. D.C. are still struggling, although they are without defeat in last two games (hard-fought win against Toronto, and draw against New England), but this will be another hard test for them.

Price for a home win is around 1.7, but there is 1.94 at betfair which looks ok to me.

Chicago @1.94 betfair

Columbus Crew vs. San Jose Earthquakes

Best odds for Columbus Crew vs San Jose Earthquakes 1.6 4.2 6.5

I expect tight win for home team, maybe with 1-0 score, under 2.5 goals game too. Last match between these two teams was played in May 11, 2008 and score was 2-3 win for Columbus Crew in away match. Columbus Crew have some nice wins at home vs San Jose with results ( 1-0, 1-0, 2-1, 2-0 ), last defeat at home was in Jul 9, 2005, score was 2-1 for guests. Columbus Crew not in best form these days, lost two games in a row, vs CD Chivas USA away 2-0 and vs NE Revolution lost at home 1-0. Because that I belive in narrow home win.
San Jose Earthquakes lost last game vs Real Salt Lake 3-1 away, and won at home vs strong Houston Dynamo 2-1. I expect San Jose defence to keep clean sheet till half time.

Home win and under 2.5 goals.

Chicago Fire vs. DC United

Best odds for Chicago Fire vs DC United 2.03 3.4 5

In my opinion I see here very open match, and expect some goals, like three or even four goals. DC United don`t have good defence as we can see from last matches, vs NE Revolution 2-2, vs Toronto FC won at home 3-2. They are in nice form, don`t lose last two games, scoring goals but defence players need some concentration to keep their goal clean. I think they will score at least one goal, and home team is expected to score two.
Chicago Fire won last match wit 5-1 scoreline, a very open game that was with Chicago Fire powerfull attack, Barrett Chad ( 23 years ) scored 3 goals so far, last game he score two. In last seven games Chicago Fire won five and lost two with no draws. I don`t see draw in this match but anything could happen.

Over 2.5 goals.

Real Salt Lake vs. Kansas City Wizards

Best odds for Real Salt Lake vs Kansas City Wizards 2.1 3.52 3.52

Home win for me, Real Salt Lake form going up at the moment, they won last game 3-1 vs San Jose Earthq. J. Morales played very good and score one goal at 63´, so I belive it is time for another win. One more thing that is going in Real Salt Lake favour is very bad shape of Kansas City, they form is awful, in last four games they only manage to drew one time and lost three games. Last defeat was vs Los Angeles Galaxy 3-1. Last win thay had in Apr 20, 2008 when they defeat Chicago Fire away 1-0 ( J. Jewsbury 4' ). Second bet is over 2.5 goals as I belive in very open match.

Home win and over 2.5 goals

I will back later with analysis for Los Angeles Galaxy - Colorado Rapids.

[bagzi_cg]

Los Angeles Galaxy vs. Colorado Rapids

Best odds for Los Angeles Galaxy vs Colorado Rapids 2.1 3.66 3.75

I belive this is going to be a very tight match, maybe with 2-3 goals. These two teams don`t have scoring problems, last games was very open with plenty goals, in last seven matches on Los Angeles Galaxy games was scored 30 goals, Los Angeles scored 18 and concede 12. When we talking about Colorado Rapids matches, scoreline in last seven games was 18 goals, 9 was scored by Colorado Rapids. All in all I can see two goals in the match, and most likely result will be 1-1, as I am thinking about draw here. Los Angeles have good power in David Beckham ( 33 years ) who scores four goals till but they miss Landon Donovan - on international duty ( 26 years ), a very powerfull striker who scores 9 goals and he is top scorer. In defence they miss Celestine Babayaro ( 29 years ), a strong Nigerian international who is on international duty, but Franchino, Joe and Jazic, Ante can cover his place. On the other side Colorado Rapids have good attackers like McManus, Tom from Scotland who scores 3 goals so far and Casey, Conor who scores one goal.

Draw and 2-3 goals.
