This week’s slate of games gives fans an extra day of exciting soccer action, as a trio of midweek matches kickoff Week 7 of MLS play on Wednesday. A rematch of last season’s Western Conference final highlights the midweek action when FC Dallas travels to Providence Park to take on defending MLS Cup champion Portland Timbers (10:30 p.m. ET, MLS LIVE). FC Dallas will have revenge on their mind as they return to the site of their disheartening 3-1 loss in the first leg of the 2015 Western Conference final – a deficit they were unable to climb back from. Dallas will hope to have midfield maestro Mauro Diaz back from injury to lead the club’s young international contingent against a Portland side coming off an encouraging 1-1 road draw at LA Galaxy. All-time club leading goal scorer and Nigerian international Fanendo Adi notched his fourth goal of the season in SoCal which ties him for the league lead (Watch Goal).
Viernes de Futbol play resumes when LA Galaxy hits the road to take on the Houston Dynamo in a nationally televised match at BBVA Compass Stadium (7 p.m. ET, UniMás). LA comes into the match powered by a stingy defense, but will certainly be tested by a league-leading Dynamo attack which has notched 12 goals through five games. Steered by forward Giles Barnes, whose strong performance on the season continued with last week’s unbelievable no-look goal against Seattle Sounders FC (Watch Golazo), fireworks are sure to be in store when the familiar MLS Cup foes meet.
Following a full day of games on Saturday, a pair of MLS Soccer Sunday matches are in store, as the New England Revolution hopes to continue its recent run of positive performances against Orlando City SC at the always rocking Citrus Bowl (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN Deportes). Recent signing Julio Baptista is expected to have a more involved role as he comes into fitness for Orlando’s attack after making his team debut in the final moments of last week’s game against Philadelphia. The veteran Brazilian international joins Orlando after spells with some of Europe’s most storied clubs, including Real Madrid, Arsenal and Roma.
Another Western Conference heavyweight battle caps off MLS Soccer Sunday action when league-leaders Sporting Kansas City faces FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, TX (7 p.m. ET, FS1/FOX Deportes). Midfielder Benny Feilhaber scored in his second consecutive match last week and hopes to continue the streak to help keep Sporting KC’s position atop the Supporters’ Shield standings in a Wednesday contest against the Colorado Rapids before Sunday’s clash at Dallas (Watch Goal).
