Surging Wizards seek more road success at Union
Soccer Betting Lines
09/03/2010 -
Chester, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kansas City coach Peter Vermes said last week's
2-0 win at the Los Angeles Galaxy was "probably our best 90-minute performance
of the whole season," but the surging Wizards still have work to do to qualify
for the Major League Soccer playoffs.
Kansas City has four wins and two ties in its last seven matches, earning more
than half its 26 points during the run. The Wizards also won at Columbus, 1-0,
to open the streak in mid-July, but the expansion Philadelphia Union present a
challenge for K.C. on Saturday.
K.C. (7-9-5) visits PPL Park for the second game of a three-game road trip but
Philadelphia (5-11-5) has played well recently, earning two draws and a win in
its last four MLS matches. The Union also beat Mexico's Guadalajara, 1-0, this
week in a friendly.
Kansas City's victories at Los Angeles and Columbus are its only two road wins
this season, as six losses and two draws in its other away games have kept the
Wizards from moving up the Eastern Conference standings.
Davy Arnaud had a goal and an assist last week in the win over L.A., which has
the best record in MLS (Columbus has the second best record), and Galaxy coach
Bruce Arena praised K.C. following the game at The Home Depot Center.
"I think that we got outcompeted. All this was about tonight was fighting and
scrapping and we lost that fight. I think that was the difference in the game;
they played harder," Arena said.
K.C. is fourth in the Eastern Conference, 11 points back of Red Bull New York,
who holds the second of two guaranteed playoff berths from the conference. The
Wizards are three behind the San Jose Earthquakes for the final playoff spot.
Philadelphia has quietly put together a decent year for an expansion team, and
is only nine points behind San Jose with two months remaining in the year. The
Union won 2-1 at the New England Revolution last weekend thanks to a stoppage-
time goal from Justin Mapp, then followed that with the win over Guadalajara.
Philadelphia has yet to post a shutout in league matches, but the game against
the Mexican power proves the Union are capable.
Union rookie Danny Mwanga, who is second on the squad with seven goals, may be
carrying a bigger load this weekend with Alejandro Moreno and nine-goal scorer
Sebastien Le Toux questionable, but he is confident Philadelphia can win.
"We definitely are looking to win," Mwanga said on the club's website. "We did
a pretty good job against New England [and] we're going to look to continue
that.
"If we can keep doing what we're doing we think we can get a good result this
Saturday against Kansas City."
