Get Premier League Betting US Odds closer to game time Saturday.

The LA Galaxy will step on the pitch on Saturday evening with a tremendous amount of confidence. First of all, Los Angeles has held the number one spot on the MLS league standings for most of the season, and the Galaxy comes into this match with 20 points earned in 12 games.

Despite having the best record in the league, the Galaxy has struggled in early May. A loss followed by two consecutive draws are not satisfactory results for the league’s highest ranked team.

In the most recent game against Sporting Kansas City, the Los Angeles squad put on its best performance of the season. Immediately after halftime, Landon Donovan scored two goals within several minutes. This marked Donovan’s 110th career MLS goal, the fourth best scoring performance in the league’s history. After struggling all season long, Juan Pablo Angel finally found his rhythm by scoring his second goal of the season. David Beckham put the icing on the cake with a late free kick (his first goal of the season) that lead to a final score of 4-1.

Coming in with a 3-3-3 record, Chivas has got to be intimidated by the Galaxy’s recent momentum. Nevertheless, Chivas won three of its last four games, something coach Fraser can use to motivate his team. Forwards Alejandro Moreno and Justin Braun each have three goals this season, a solid offensive performance that can threaten the Galaxy.

With two months into the 2011 MLS season, the Los Angeles Galaxy find themselves on a similar path to repeating last year’s success of having the best record in the league. In eight games, the Galaxy has compiled 15 points so far, something that no other team has been able to do.

The Galaxy are a slight +150 favorite, FC Dallas is at +160 and a Draw is +225 in soccer betting lines.

The Los Angeles has great momentum right now, as they finished April with two solid victories. Plagued by a knee injury all season long, captain Landon Donovan finally made his 2011 debut. Donovan’s first appearance was impressive, as he scored two goals against the Portland Timbers, while Chad Barrett scored the other goal. The 3-0 victory against Portland was the best performance for the Galaxy in 2011.

David Beckham, who was recently suspended for a match, is back on the roster for LA. With that being said, the return of Landon Donovan will lead the Galaxy into a positive direction and help Los Angeles stay on top of the MLS league table for the second straight year.

F.C. Dallas has 7 points in six games so far, as inconsistency has been the issue for coach Hyndman’s squad. Dallas lost the first game of April, won the second, lost the third, and won the fourth. This type of roller coaster performance will not go far, especially to the MLS Cup route. On Sunday May 1st, the only factor Dallas F.C. can count on is the home crowd. However, the LA Galaxy will confidently step on the field at Pizza Hut Park knowing that a loss hasn’t been part of the team’s vocabulary since late March.

Although March marked the beginning of the 2011 MLS season, there has already been plenty of exciting action for the Philadelphia Union and Los Angeles Galaxy. On Saturday April 2, the two teams will face each other for the first time this season. The Galaxy will have the home advantage as they host Union at the Home Depot Center for an evening match.

According to various sports betting sites, MLS Betting Odds have the Galaxy as a -160 favorite while the Union are a +460 underdog.

The fledgling Philadelphia Union has got off to a great start in its second season in the MLS. The goal for the team is clear, which is to improve from last year’s record and qualify for the MLS Cup as well as other competitions such as U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF. By late march, Philadelphia Union sat at the top of the standings in the Eastern Conference.

In the season opening game, the Philadelphia Union defeated former MLS Cup champions Houston Dynamo 1-0. The Union surprised nearly 20,000 Houston fans at the Robertson Stadium as Vice captain Danny Cardiff scored an early goal in the fifth minute. Days later, Philadelphia pleased its home crowd by defeating the Vancouver Whitecaps 1-0 thanks to the effort of striker Carlos Ruiz.

The Los Angeles Galaxy got off to a less impressive start in 2011. They won the opening game against Seattle Sounders FC 1-0, ended with a 1-1 tie against New England Revolution, and lost 1-4 to Real Salt Lake. However, it is important to remember that Los Angeles is a star studded team that may do some real damage as the season progresses. Besides having David Beckham and Landon Donovan, the Galaxy have added some serious firepower to its squad by getting New York’s star striker Juan Pablo Angel and the young Brazilian Juninho.

As the LA Galaxy will take on New York Red Bulls, Friday September 24 will feature one of the most notable matches of the 2010 MLS Season. It is a clash between the most exciting teams of the western conference and the eastern conference. Kickoff is scheduled at a sold out Home Depot Center, at 8:00 PM (11:00 PM Eastern Time). For the online sportsbook betting odds, this clash has a lot to offer.

With MLS and international all-stars, Friday’s game will be packed. Finally, David Beckham made a return to the pitch and Landon Donovan in the midfield will support him. Rafael Marquez and Juan Pablo Angel represent the team’s all star status, on the New York squad. Unfortunately, striker Thierry Henry, who is suffering from a minor knee injury, will not be available for New York Red Bulls. to miss out on debut in Los Angeles, the French international superstar said he is disappointed.

In Friday’s highly anticipated battle, it is tough to predict the winner. But of course, to look at back at history, it is important. LA Galaxy defeated NY Red Bulls 1-0, with an early goal by Eddie Buddle, in the previous meeting in August. It’s also worth mentioning that Henry was on the pitch, while Beckham sat on the bench in that game. For now, in the MLS, this is developing into one of the most interesting rivalries.

On Saturday August 28, 2010, the Los Angeles Galaxy will host the Kansas City Wizards at the Home Depot Center. Kick off will be at 7:30 P.M Pacific Time, as a large crowd is expected to fill the stadium for this weekend game.

The previous meeting between the two teams in April ended with a scoreless draw. But the next game is going to be a different story.

The clash between Los Angeles and Kansas City may not be full of surprises but the soccer betting odds will definitely be an interesting one. The preview for this game is based on nothing more than pure statistics. The Galaxy are currently the best team in the MLS, compiling 43 points in 21 games. As of the last week of August, Los Angeles leads the league in most goals scored (32) and wins (13.) The stats say that LA Galaxy should easily beat Kansas City Wizards on Saturday. Manager Bruce Arena has done an excellent job in keeping his team at top of the league table.

However, LA Galaxy have lost 3 games in August, which somewhat disrupted the team’s momentum as the undisputed kings of the MLS. A Loss to Chicago Fire and San Jose Earthquakes shook up Galaxy’s confidence. Even a friendly 3-2 loss to European powerhouse Real Madrid was demoralizing.

On the other side, Kansas City Wizards had some mixed results in August including a draw with Real Salt Lake and a convincing 4-1 victory over New England Revolution. The Wizards only have 23 points in 20 games, and are ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference. What the Wizards and Galaxy share in common is a loss to the Earthquakes in August. Based on the most recent results, Kansas City may take advantage of Los Angeles’ inconsistent performance in August.

When the game day arrives, there are high expectations on the attacking forces of Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle to lead the Galaxy to an easy victory. The Wizards are just a mediocre team, and will be nothing more than underdogs trying to stop a powerhouse. There is simply not enough star part on the Kansas City squad to stop the best team in the league.

For fans, the game on Saturday August 14 between Los Angeles Galaxy and the New York Red Bulls is going to be full of excitement because of a few big names. The game will be televised live on Fox Soccer Channel and Kickoff will be at 6:00 p.m.

By signing Thierry Henry and Rafael Marquez, New York has made some major headlines across the MLS and the entire global soccer world, in the last several weeks. To bring these two players from Barcelona F.C. to an American club, it was an interesting move.

Marquez is the star of the Mexican national team, while Henry is one of the greatest French strikers of all time. To fill up the new Red Bull Arena almost to capacity is what these two international stars promise. Henry’s and Marquez’s second home game appearances, it is expected that more than 20,000 fans will show up at Red Bull Arena. Red Bulls true star, Juan Pablo Angel has been overshadowed by all of this talk about the new arrivals. In fact, in this season once again by scoring more than 10 goals in less than 20 games so far, Angel has proved his striking abilities.

The clash of New York and Los Angeles will be a fight between the league’s best teams. While the Red Bulls are the second best in the Eastern conference, so far the Galaxy comes in with the best MLS record. To lead Los Angeles to a victory against New York, there are plenty of expectations on Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle. Can the Galaxy handle the pressure of facing some of the biggest names in MLS, the question remains?

The Galaxy’s home field, the Home Depot Center in Carson, Thursday July 22, the San Jose Earthquakes will take on the Los Angeles Galaxy. With 39 points and a 12-2 record, the Galaxy leads the entire MLS and the MLS Western Conference.

With a pedestrian record of 6-4, the San Jose Earthquakes come into their meeting versus the Galaxy. With their other forwards, they will have trouble finding the back of the net, aside from Chris Wondolowski, who has six goals. San Jose’s last two matches were a 2-1 victory over Philadelphia and a 0-0 tie with Tottenheim.

United States World Cup star, midfielder Landon Donovan is back on United States soil for the Los Angeles Galaxy, along with striker and leading scorer for the Los Angeles Galaxy, Edson Buddle. With 11 goals, out of which five are game winners, Buddle leads the MLS and with 10 assists, Landon Donovan leads the MLS. David Beckham, high paid celebrity player for the Galaxy is still not available but they do not look like they are missing him.

In this match against San Jose, the Los Angeles Galaxy should be hitting full stride. The Galaxy should be able to mow down the remaining competition, with the best midfielder in the MLS, Landon Donovan and leading striker back in the fold for his second match, Edson Buddle, as they head for the MLS title game. San Jose can’t contain the Galaxy’s high octane offense, although they do have a good defense.
