Be it that I was so fixated on the CONCACAF Champions League Final on Wednesday, I am late to the week 9 MLS action party. I missed the Red Bulls vs Earthquakes match. Whoops! I will however be providing predictions for the remaining nine matches this week. Considering my recent string of results I probably would have predicted it wrong anyhow. Last week I scored a very mediocre 4 out of 9. Yuck! Let’s just move on and focus on this week shall we?
FC Dallas @ Houston – Houston WIN
San Jose @ Real Salt Lake – RSL WIN
Toronto @ Philadelphia – Toronto WIN
Columbus @ DC – TIE
RBNY @ New England – New England WIN
Colorado @ LA Galaxy – LA Galaxy WIN
Vancouver @ Portland – TIE
Chicago @ Sporting KC – Sporting KC
Seattle @ NYCFC – Seattle WIN

This week MLS has given us a handful of rivalry matches, including “The Battle of Texas” between FC Dallas and Houston, a long standing original MLS rivalry as DC plays the Crew, and the Cascadia Cup is up for grabs when Vancouver travels south to the Rose City. As a Timbers supporter and mega fan of Diego Valeri, the Cascadia clash is of most interest to me personally. Valeri is expected to make his first appearance of the season. His arrival is much needed. Hopefully he can cure what has been ailing the Timbers in 2015.
Who do you have winning this week? What match are you most looking forward to checking out? And lastly, as usual, below is my fantasy lineup for week 9. What do you think? How is your fantasy lineup doing? Good luck to all!
