Major League Soccer stars Thierry Henry, David Beckham and Brek Shea will all be under the same spotlight as the MLS All-Stars prepare to challenge Manchester United in the highlight match of soccer betting action this week.
MLS All-Stars vs. Manchester United (Wednesday, 8:30 pm)
For the second year in a row the best available MLS talent will square off against the fabled Red Devils of the English Premier League. Manchester United – Beckham’s former team – waltzed to a 5-2 victory in last year’s exhibition, marking the first time under the current format that the MLS All-Stars were defeated by their international opposition in regulation time.
Henry leads the MLS with 11 goals and will feel right at home with the game scheduled for Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey, where he currently plays with Red Bull New York. Landon Donovan, Beckham’s teammate with the L.A. Galaxy, will miss the match with a calf injury.
- Philadelphia Union at Colorado Rapids (Friday, 7:30 pm)
Unbeaten in five games and coming off an impressive 3-0 rout of New England last time out, the Philadelphia Union travel to Colorado to take on the Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
Philadelphia leads the Eastern Conference with a record of 8-4-7 (W-L-T), while Colorado sits fifth in the Western Conference at 7-6-10 but has only lost twice at their home field in 12 matches so far this season. Colorado’s Sanna Nyassi was named MLS Player of the Week on Monday after scoring three goals in the Rapids’ 4-1 victory over Red Bull New York last Wednesday.
- FC Dallas at Chivas USA (Sunday, 7:00 pm)
Western Conference rivals FC Dallas and Chivas USA will close the week with an important match at The Home Depot Center. FC Dallas is in second place at 11-5-6 and coming off a 2-2 tie with Red Bull on Saturday night.
Chivas USA (6-7-8) got three goals last time out from Justin Braun in knocking off Houston 3-0 on Saturday, extending their unbeaten streak to five games.
