The Americans have started taking "soccer" seriously by signing some top quality players like Henry, Ljungberg, Nagamura, Zizzo or even Mexican forward Castillo, to mention some. I think that the league now deserves a better look from a betting point of view!

Philadelphia Union - New England Re'lution(Kick off: 31/07 21:30 CET)
Reccord:
Philadelphia Union (4-8-2, 14 points, 6th in East)  //  New England Revolution (4-9-2, 14 points, 7th in East)
Pick:
Taking into account that New England have not played a game for at least two weeks, and also the fact that Piladelphia's form has imrpoved in their last few games, I trust that the home team can get away with the win. Philadelphia's win is offered at 2.00 at Bet365. The game can be watched live at Bet365!!!
 

Colorado Rapids - FC Dallas (Kick off: 31/07 22:00 CET)
Reccord:
Colorado Rapids (6-5-5, 23 pts, 5th in West) // FC Dallas (6-2-8, 26 pts, 3rd in West)

Pick:
Now, this is interesting. Colorado have not won for six game in a row, while Dallas have not lost a single game since the 21st May. The away win is offered at a very tempting 3.20 at Bet365, but for those conservative players, the X2 double chance is also good at 1.60 at Bet365. This game can also be watched live at Bet365.com.

Houston Dynamo - New York Red Bulls (Kick off: 01/08 02:30 CET)
Reccord:
Houston Dynamo (5-8-4, 19 pts, 7th in the West) // New York Red Bulls (8-6-2, 26 pts, 2nd in the East)

Pick:
Difficult to pick. Houston are in a very bad form. On the other hand, NY Red Bulls have signed Theiry Henry, who we all know has great leadership skills. History is not in favour of NY but I will trust my instict and Henry in this one. Besides, I could not turn my nose on the 3.00 Bet365 is offering for New York's win. This game can also be watched live at Bet365.com.

Kansas City Wizards - Toronto FC (Kick off: 01/08 02:30 CET)
Reccord:
Kansas City Wizards (4-8-4, 16 pts, 5th in the East) // Toronto FC (6-5-5, 23 pts, 3rd in the East)

Pick: Now, what can we say about Kansas? They are not doing that well in the MLS but last week they managed to win 2:1 against the European super-team of Manchester United. This has certainly lifted the team's spirit. Toronto are doing slightly better this season, perhaps they could get a draw from Kansas. X is offered at 3.25 at Bet365 and is the best betting option in this game.

Real Salt Lake - DC United (Kick off: 01/08 03:00 CET)
Reccord:
Real Salt Lake (9-4-4, 31 points, 2nd in Western Conference) // D.C. United (3-11-3,12 points, 8th in Eastern Conference)

Pick:
Salt Lake are a team with a great home record in MLS. They have not been defeated at home since 21st May 2009 (yes, that is more than a year ago)! They are second in the Western League table and they have a good chance of reaching leaders LA Galaxy if they keep the good work.  DC are the worst team of the Western region and that is why the home win is only offered at 1.50 at Bet365. I personally think that this is the weekend's best betting tip!
 

San Jose E'quakes - Seattle Sounders FC(Kick off: 01/08 04:00 CET)
Reccord:
San Jose Earthquakes (6-4-5, tied for fourth in Wester Conference) // Seattle Sounders (6-8-4, sixth in West)
Pick:
San Jose are drawing one game after the other. Seattle have signed Ljungberg and Uruguayan Alvaro Fernandez so their team is looking very hot at the moment. An away win here would mean a lot to the Sounders' fans. The away win is offered at 3.50 at Bet365 while the X2 double chance is at 1.72 (very good value!) The game can be watched live at Bet365!!!

 

CD Chivas USA  - Columbus Crew (Kick off: 01/08 04:30 CET)
Reccord:
Chivas USA (4-9-3, 15 points, 8th in West) // Columbus Crew (10-3-4, 34 points, 1st in East)
Pick:
This is a very good home win. Chivas have singed Zizzo from Hannover (but he is not going to be ready for this weekend's game). However, the newly signed veteran trio Paulo Nagamura, Giancarlo Maldonado and Rodolfo Espinoza are available and will certainly add a more experienced level to Chivas' very young line up. Columbus are a very difficult team to beat. They are very consistent, which is the reason why they are second in the overall MLS league table! A win in this game will bring them closer to the top place. Columbus' win is offered t 2.60 at Bet365. Good luck!
