Houston vs. Los Angeles (Monday, 1.30am)
With a win or draw on Sunday against Los Angeles FC, the Houston Dynamo will equal their longest MLS unbeaten run at Shell Energy Stadium from a season ago (six matches).
Orange Crush lost 3-2 to Real Salt Lake on Wednesday, their first loss since May, while LAFC moved into sole possession of first place in the Western Conference with a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy.
We say: Houston Dynamo 1-2 Los Angeles FC
When you are on the kind of roll that LAFC are currently on, everything seems to go your way, and we believe their momentum will propel them to another narrow triumph.

Kansas vs. Dallas (Monday, 1.30am)
Two underwhelming sides in the MLS Western Conference will square off at Children's Mercy Park on Sunday as Sporting Kansas City host Dallas.
On Thursday, SKC were beaten 2-1 by the Colorado Rapids, while an own-goal three minutes from the 90 lifted the Toros to a 3-2 victory over the Portland Timbers.
We say: Sporting Kansas City 2-0 Dallas
As poor as KC have been defensively this season, the Toros have been equally poor on the back end and in the attacking third away from home, so we project a stroke of good fortune for the home team.

Earthquakes vs. Chicago Fire (Monday, 1.30am)
San Jose Earthquakes set out in search of their first win since May 12 when they go head to head with Chicago Fire at PayPal Park on Sunday.
Having lost each of the last three meetings between the sides, the Men in Red will head into the game looking to get one over the hosts and pick up just their second away win of the season.
We say: San Jose Earthquakes 1-2 Chicago Fire
Chicago Fire will be licking their lips as they welcome the challenge of a floundering San Jose Earthquakes side who have picked up just one point in their last nine league games. Off the back of a hard-fought win over Philadelphia, we fancy the Men in Red to secure all three points at PayPal Park.

Colorado vs. St Louis City (Monday, 2.30am)
Seeking to pick up their first MLS away win of the campaign, St Louis City journey to the Dick's Sporting Goods Park to face Colorado Rapids on Monday morning.
The Rapids are unbeaten in their last five home games, including three wins in their last three outings, and will head into the game looking to extend this impressive run.
We say: Colorado Rapids 2-0 St Louis City
Given their current home form, Colorado Rapids will fancy themselves against a St Louis side who have struggled for results on their travels. We predict Armas's men will pick up where they left off against Kansas City and secure another win in front of their home supporters.

LA Galaxy vs. Minnesota Utd (Monday, 3.30am)
Days after a disappointing defeat to their biggest rivals, the Los Angeles Galaxy return to Dignity Health Sports Park to face Minnesota United on Sunday.
Earlier this week, the Galaxy dropped to third in the MLS Western Conference with a 2-1 defeat against Los Angeles FC, while the Loons were beaten 3-1 by the Vancouver Whitecaps.
We say: Los Angeles Galaxy 3-0 Minnesota United
Given the defensive struggles the Loons are experiencing and being down to their third-string goalkeeper, a talented group like the Galaxy should be able to find their share of openings and make them count on Sunday.

Portland vs. Nashville (Monday, 3.30am)
For only the third time in club history, Nashville SC will visit Providence Park to face the Portland Timbers in MLS action on Sunday.
Earlier this week, the Timbers suffered a 3-2 defeat versus Dallas, while the Boys in Gold were beaten 2-0 by the Columbus Crew.
We say: Portland Timbers 2-0 Nashville SC
The Timbers are not a solid defensive unit by any stretch, but Nashville do not have a quality chance creator to trouble them, so we project that the aggressive approach of Portland will eventually lead to goals.
