MLS: New England Revolution - Portland Timbers
This is the one Wednesday game where one of the teams is not only clocking up the air miles, but are travelling coast to coast, West to East, for just a single midweek fixture. Portland have played six of their seven matches on the West Coast this season, either at home in Oregon, or in California, the other was a quick hop out East to face Orlando City where they lost 4-1. They had a 15 days break prior to that game, so I doubt that it makes too much difference that tonight's fixture comes after they have enjoyed a ten day hiatus, especially as they are back home again on Sunday and have another five straight games in the West. The large number of West Coast games to start their campaign as MLS Cup champions has been a blessing, after their season was extended into December, to put that into some context, Revolution, who did themselves make the post season, were done and dusted by late October, some 39 days earlier. Timbers would have had media commitments after that and their off season was some 4-7 weeks shorter than almost anyone else. Therefore, we can argue that the drain on playing staff is even greater than normal for a 3,000 trip East ,across several time zones, to play a single game.
Since opening their campiagn in Houston, New England have stuck to the East like a limpet, they will be looking to build on this kindness of schedule and after two road games, will be hoping to get into top of the table contention by making the most of back to back home games this week. Portland will be without suspended Diego Valeri, who has 60 goals/assists in 109 appearances, Timbers have scored just three road goals this season and the Argentine playmaker has assisted with two of those , he had a lengthy absence last season and it took six games for Portland to win without him and remember, we are talking about the "best" team in MLS in 2015, so, a big loss.
Portland were very slow starters last season (they have an identical record after seven games this year) and did not hit their stride until mid/late May and given their shortened off season, we can expect more of the same, maybe even a few weeks later before we see them at their very best. Revolution have to start turning draws (5/8) into wins and this looks a good opportunity.

nel turno precedente è arrivato il primo passo falso,anche abbastanza netto direi,tuttavia non svanisce l'ottimo inizio di salt lake city.
al contrario houston ha esordito con un poderoso 5-0 contro dallas e poi buio totale con un pareggio in cinque gare.
la quota è buona e punto sul ritorno al successo dei padroni di casa.

ospiti che sembrano essersi svegliati dopo un inizio mediocre di stagione ed è arrivata una prestazione offensiva maiuscola con addirittura nove reti segnate in due partite.
padroni di casa invece continuano questa serie negativa con un solo pareggio nelle ultime quattro,oltre ad aver subito sempre.
i precedenti però sono pessimi ormai da tanti anni a kansas city,peraltro anche in annate dove la squadra californiana era più competitiva di oggi,per cui prendo questo special pronosticando almeno un goal di los angeles invece del segno.

ospiti continuano ad avere difficoltà ormai da un mese a questa parte subendo sempre rete e sono arrivati solo 2 punti in 6 gare,al contrario colorado rapids ha avuto un inizio eccellente ed in casa veramente tiene testa al nome travolgendo gli avversari infatti solo successi.

MLS: Houston Dynamo - Real Salt Lake
These two met in the reverse fixture in Salt Lake just two weeks. Real to work hard to win that 2-1 and lost 1-0 at MLS leading Colorado Rapids last weekend, not really any shame in that and Real had six attempts on target and dominated all passing and possession stats in the final third, especially after the break and really ought to have got something from that. They are ending games strongly and I see that giving them a big advantage here with Dynamo having played in midweek, a poor showing in a 3-1 loss to San Jose Earthquakes, where goalkeeper Tyler Deric was sent off late. I guess that will mean a return of Joe Willis between the sticks, Dynamo have just one cleansheet in 11 when he plays, conceding at the rate of 1.91 goals per game. Real have scored eight on their last two visits to Houston , they look the stronger team and have had an extra four days to rest and prepare for this.

padroni di casa hanno vinto solo una gara con più di una rete di scarto,per cui la quota mi sembra un po' bassina anche perchè al contempo gli ospiti nelle ultime due sono tornati in pista con due vittorie convincenti soprattutto offensivamente.
prendo un handicap asiatico per new york city a portland che al momento non sta mostrando di essere campione in carica.
