The bulk of the matches in the latest round of the Major League Soccer fixtures takes place on Saturday where there is another decent looking MLS card. Although we are made to wait until Sunday to see the two leaders there are some decent teams in action in the seven games in all.
We have one match on the TV on Saturday night for those of us in the UK with the others being streamed as ever on the streaming service offered by the bookmakers.
Saturday’s matches are as follows: (UK kick off in brackets)
DC United vs New England Revolution (00.00)
Philadelphia Union vs Atlanta United (00.00)
Columbus Crew vs FC Dallas (00.30)
Orlando City vs Vancouver Whitecaps (00.30)
Chicago Fire vs Minnesota United (01.30)
Houston Dynamo vs Sporting Kansas City (02.00)
Real Salt Lake vs Colorado Rapids (03.00)
Big Matches
Houston Dynamo and Sporting Kansas City both have claims to progress all the way in the Western Conference so their match will be important while the TV game in the UK is the one between Orlando City and Vancouver Whitecaps.
Best of the Rest
DC United and New England Revolution really need to get a run together and one of them may well start that when they meet while Chicago Fire should be able to pick up three points at home to Minnesota United. Real Salt Lake will look to build on their fine midweek win when they host Colorado Rapids while all eyes will be on Columbus Crew to see if they can overcome FC Dallas.

Betting
I’ve found the first two rounds of these derby fixtures tough going and I see no different here in truth. The only banker I can see is Chicago Fire but they are plenty short enough and I’m avoiding anything going on in Texas with the hurricane that is doing the rounds in that part of the world.
That leaves me with just the one bet which is on goals in the Philadelphia Union against Atlanta United match. Both these sides are infinitely better going forward than they are at defending and given that both teams might well see this as a must win match I’m expecting an attacking intent to be adopted. I fancy this will be one of those matches which explodes into life providing us with plenty of goals.
Tips
