FC Dallas DNB @ 1.92(pinnacle)
RSL will still be a pretty incomplete team, especially in defence. While defender Aaron Maund returns, another defender Chris Schuler will be ruled out because of suspension. 1st choice gk Nick Rimando remains out while captain and defensive midfielder Kyle Beckerman is still considered as doubtful. This game will also see the return of ex RSL legend Javier Morales. I believe he will be really motivated to show what RSL has missed. Facing a depleted RSL defence, it's probably a good chance for FC Dallas to finally get their attack clicking.

Yes, I will definitely be checking out the ELO and see how it goes.

MLS. I will also try to research my local league which imo is the most unpredictable league I have seen.

Sounders -0.5 @ 1.88(pinnacle)
This is a quick turnaround for Toronto. They have to travel about 3500km to Seattle to play the earliest game of the Sunday schedule. They started their last 2 games with the same lineup so it's almost certain there will be some rotation. The onslaught by Orlando in the 2nd half will also likely takes it toll on them. To make things worse, they will have another midweek game against Columbus Crew on next Thursday. That's a conference game which is likely to be more of a priority for them than a revenge game. Sounders will be disappointed that they failed to pick up a 2nd straight win last week but they should be able to do it against a rotated or tired Toronto side(depending on which team Gregg Vanney plays).

Yes, Sydney ftw!!!

Sporting KC -0.5 @ 1.87(marathonbet)
NYRB coach Jesse March has hinted at squad rotation because of this is a 2 games week or 3 games in 8 days(if you include last weekend game). I believe this will be the game that their key players will be rested as this is an out-of-conference game. The key players will then return for the conference game against Philadelphia Union. As for SKC, I doubt they will be making too many changes. This is a home game and their game against Minnesota will be 4 days later(a day later than NYRB). With NYRB probably resting their key players and SKC being unbeaten at home for the last 13 games, I fancy their chance to wrap up their 2 games home stand with their 2nd straight win.

Whitecaps +0.25 @ 2.28(pinnacle)
Montreal Impact got lucky for the past 2 weeks, coming back from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 against Philly and then scored a deflected goal in the last min to beat Atlanta United. Will they still need Lady Luck this week? I'm certainly not very impressed with them so far. While Whitecaps is also consistent but I think they can cause problems for Impact defence(no clean sheet so far) and get something out of this game.
Sporting KC -1 @ 2.15(marathonbet)
SKC lost their unbeaten record to FC Dallas last week but that doesn't suddenly make them a bad team. As for RSL, Mike Petke also suffered his 1st loss as RSL manager. They have alot of injuries to deal with especially in defence. 1st choice gk Nick Rimando and another defender Chris Wingert added to the injury list this week so that makes their defence even weaker. RSL attack isn't the best and the piling injuries to their defensive players, I like SKC to get back to winning ways here.

Toronto -1 @ 2.08(pinnacle)
Giovinco seems to have found his groove with the 2 goals he scored last week. Houston Dynamo maybe 'flying' but this is another team who have played more home games(5, 4 won and 1 draw) than road games(2, 2 losses). I like Toronto to continue what they did last week and get their 2nd straight home win.

I think there is enough value to bet on Celta Vigo @ $8 to win it all. If Man Utd continue to be so inconsistent, they will surely be punished.

Nice call on Toronto. Gio showing up at last 
I left it alone personally.

Toronto @ 1.64(marathonbet)
After a seemingly good start, Toronto has been winless for the past 3 games. Fire may have improved this season but whether they can translated this good form onto the road remains to be seen. Afterall, they played 4 home games which could explain their position in the league now. This is Toronto 3rd home game and if they still fail to win it, they will be worse than Philly.
Houston Dynamo @ 2.03(pinnacle)
It's a short turnaround for Earthquakes(played Revolution today) and Dynamo will be desperate to make amends after giving up 2 goals to Minnesota last week. Earthquakes is also just an awful away team so anything other than a win will be a poor result for Dynamo.

Do you know what, I totally forgot about that! I cannot believe the season has gone by so fast! Where has the time gone?!

It's because we are in the finals and last 5 games of the season. A-league adopts a playoffs style system. The top 6 qualify for the finals. Top 2 gets a bye for this round so it's 3rd v 6th and 4th v 5th this week. Lowest ranked team will then play Sydney while the highest ranked team will play Victory in the semi-finals.
These 2 games are really hard to call imo. I will based my play on how I feel about the teams over the course of the season.
In the 1st game, I will go with Brisbane DNB @ 1.67(pinnacle). I feel that they have the better all round team. They have only lost 2 games at Suncorp this season so with this game being played there, it's another advantage for them. They should also be more determined to make things right after last season disaster. They lead 3-0 after 23 minutes against the very same team in the semi-finals before losing the game 4-3 in extra time. Ouch!!!
As for the 2nd game, I'm still thinking. Leaning to Perth Glory for now.

Someone in another forum said he is trying to get people to bet on Envigado so that he can trade his position. He also posted this in the Premier league board.

Arsenal -1 @ 2
I think Arsenal will bounce back today. Middlesbrough is just a horrible team. Their 6th best defensive record in the league is kinda of deceiving considering they are playing not to lose rather than to win in most of their games. They are always only hoping for a moment of magic to win their games. Now that they need to win games, they will need to open up and their defensive record will tumble as a result of that.
Arsenal maybe struggling now but they have beaten the rather poor teams like Sunderland, Hull and Swansea this season.

David Villa scores an incredible goal from 50 yards away

NYC DNB @ 2.36(marathonbet)
Philly is a complete dumpster fire. They are winless in their last 13 games, a streak which was extended from last season. Coach Jim Curtin has look clueless so far and probably thanking his lucky stars that he still has a job now because of Philly good start last season. According to his match press conference, he is going with the same tactic and probably also the same personal and just hope for footballing gods to have some mercy on them. Even with this 3 home games stretch, I won't be surprised to see them getting 0 points.

I doubt they will rest players. Winning the EL guarantees them a CL group stage spot. If they wanted to qualify through the league, they would have given up on the EL long ago. Their inconsistent league form doesn't make things easier for them.

I tried this a few seasons back but team news and previews are hard to find. And I need to google translate it as well which makes it more tedious.

Yeah, I would even go one step further and say I can see Juventus securing a solid win over Barcelona. I wouldn't be surprised if they win by 2 goals.

They will start using the VAR from this week till end of the season.
Melbourne City -1 @ 2.08(marathonbet)
After heavy 2 losses in a row, their home finals spot is in jeopardy. Last home game for them and being the more desperate team, I think they bounce back here. 
Still thinking about the other games, I will post here if I bet on them as well.

I'm not too sure if they have more resilience now. RSL did not have their 2 1st team centrebacks and the 2 backups are out, leaving them with their 5th choice. It was also an unusual bad x2 day for gk Nick Rimando and captain Kyle Beckerman as well.

FC Dallas + Toronto double @ 2.3(Marathonbet)
2 of the conference best teams against the 2 expansion teams. FC Dallas should make some rotations after they played a midweek CCL game but should still be too strong for Minnesota.
Toronto start to the season has been kind of underwhelming. Giovinco has been rather quiet so far but it's a matter of time before he starts firing again. Atlanta Josef Martinez remains out.
