Battle of unbeatens as Crew host Galaxy
Soccer Betting Lines
05/27/2010 -
Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Columbus Crew host the Los Angeles Galaxy
on Saturday night in Major League Soccer action in what very well could be a
preview of MLS Cup 2010.
Both teams are unbeaten just under a third of the way into the season, with
the Crew (6-0-2) actually rattling off three wins in an eight days stretch
last week - the last two of which were on the road. The week was capped off
with a 1-0 win this past Sunday in Kansas City.
"The field is small," Crew goalkeeper William Hesmer told mlssoccer.com of
CommunityAmerica Ballpark in K.C. "It made for a kind of ugly game. That's
been our style and how we've played so far this year. We were up for the
battle."
The Crew were playing without winger Robbie Rogers and defender Chad Marshall,
who were with the U.S. national team in preparation of the upcoming World Cup.
Both players should be available on Saturday, however, after the were cut when
the final 23-man roster was announced on Wednesday.
The Galaxy weren't so lucky on Wednesday, with their two players in U.S. camp
- MLS assist leader Landon Donovan and goal leader Edson Buddle - both making
the 23-man roster. They will be unavailable to the Galaxy until at least the
conclusion of the World Cup's group stage at the end of June.
But the Galaxy (8-0-2) will have to find a way to get a result for the second
straight week without both their most talented [Donovan], and their most in-
form [Buddle] players.
"They're a good team," L.A. defender Sean Franklin told mlssoccer.com of the
Crew. "I've seen some film of some of their games, and they've scored a number
of goals on set pieces.
"They're just a tough opponent this week ... we have to be sharp."
Will the Crew should get two significant players back, they also could be
without three important pieces in defenders Frankie Hejduk and Danny O'Rourke,
and midfielder Brian Carroll, who suffered knocks last week.
The Galaxy are relatively healthy, with forward Alan Gordon, midfielder Dema
Kovalenko, and defender Leonardo all listed as questionable with injuries.
