There is another full set of fixtures in Major League Soccer on Saturday night with some belting matches on the schedule as the MLS season begins to head towards the all-important play-offs.
We have a couple of matches on TV in the UK which look like being excellent matches and there are plenty on the live streams to enjoy to keep up with the other matches.
Saturday’s fixtures are as follows: (UK kick off time in brackets)
Seattle Sounders vs Sporting Kansas City (21.00)
Toronto FC vs Portland Timbers (23.00)
DC United vs Real Salt Lake (00.00)
Columbus Crew vs Chicago Fire (00.30)
New York Red Bulls vs Orlando City (00.30)
FC Dallas vs Colorado Rapids (01.00)
New England Revolution vs Vancouver Whitecaps (01.00)
Philadelphia Union vs Montreal Impact (01.00)
Houston Dynamo vs San Jose Earthquakes (02.00)
Los Angeles Galaxy vs New York City FC (04.00)
Big Matches
The two TV matches in the UK are the ones involving Toronto FC against Portland Timbers and Los Angeles Galaxy against New York City FC which are big matches in the Conference tables. Another big game comes from Houston where two sides in the top six of the West do battle as the Dynamo host the San Jose Earthquakes. Seattle Sounders vs Sporting Kansas City is another between sides in the top six.
Best of the Rest
DC United and Real Salt Lake desperately need the points in their cross Conference clash while FC Dallas will hope to close in on top spot when they host the Colorado Rapids. Philadelphia Union and Montreal Impact could both be drinking at the last chance saloon when they meet while Orlando City could do with the points from the Red Bull Arena.

Betting
I am going to go with three bets in this fixture list. It begins with the first TV match where I expect to see goals between Toronto FC and Portland Timbers. Both sides love to go forward and get on the front foot and have some of the most potent players in MLS. Portland can be exposed on the road but I fancy they will find the back of the net so over 3 goals looks fair enough to me.
I also think we will see goals in the match between Columbus Crew and Chicago Fire. Columbus Crew matches tend to be high scoring and Chicago Fire have been known to go toe to toe with sides when it comes to fighting fire with fire so I expect this one to explode into life early and end up containing more than three goals.
The other bet I like is Houston Dynamo to see off the very poor travellers San Jose Earthquakes. The Dynamo have been quite brilliant at home this season and have not lost on their own patch yet. San Jose have lost their last four on the road and have shipped a number of goals in that time too. This should be another home win for the Dynamos and potentially a big one at that.
