Soccer Betting Lines

04/24/2009 - Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chivas USA and FC Dallas square off in a Major League Soccer Western Conference tilt on Saturday at The Home Depot Center.

Chivas USA is coming off a midweek loss at Toronto, its first loss of the season, and will be aiming to get back on track at home on Saturday.

"[Toronto] just seemed to want it more than us, created a couple more opportunities and in the end got the result," Chivas coach Preki said. "It was a tough game under difficult conditions - with strong winds, cold and played on an artificial surface as well. In the end we came up a little bit short - they may have worked harder than us on the night and got the three points."

The Goats still hold the top spot in MLS with a 4-1-1 record, but Seattle is right on their heels.

Dallas (1-3-1) , on the other hand, is second-to-last in the West, with just one win this season. it is aiming to get a result in an effort to move up the table, although it is coming off a 3-2 win over Toronto last weekend.

"I thought our players played well, to pick up three goals," Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman said. "Defensively, we're still victims of little mistakes, which I think will just take time to get better, but I think all in all that the players were very inspired to get a win. We felt that we should have more than one point in these last few games, and the players were very focused this week in training, I think it was very upbeat. I thought they did a good job on the field, and I'm pleased with the outcome, obviously."

Dallas is relatively healthy heading into the game, with the only injury being to defender Steve Purdy, who is out with a hamstring.

It's a different story for Chivas USA, which will be without forwards Justin Braun, Ante Razov and Maykel Galindo and defenders Bobby Burling, Claudio Suarez, Lawson Vaughn and Ante Jazic and, midfielder Sasha Victorine, and goalkeeper Dan Kennedy.
