Sporting Kc vs. LA Galaxy Game Preview

It's not quite fair. Nothing about this season so far has been "fair". Because, Sporting Kc will take on in-form LA Galaxy, which comes two weeks after taking on a red-hot New York Red Bulls team. To make matters worse LA Galaxy have played approximately 450 more minutes(5 games) than SKC have. But, Sporting may just yet have some positives to think about.

The Set Up:
LA Galaxy come into this game 13 points and a full 18 league spots ahead of Sporting Kc, basically last will play first. But, LA Galaxy have not beaten SKC for 3 years, home or away, furthermore, the only win the entire season for SKC has been at the Home Depot Center.

Lineup Predictions:
The lineup may be a little different this week, here's my best, non-educated, guess.

                   


 Subs: Kronberg, Espinoza, Besler, Rocastle, Zusi, Sapong, Diop

Why did I pick Aiyegbusi to start over Espinoza? Because Aiyegbusi is fast, real fast. Guess who else is "real fast"? Landon Donovan. Aiyegbusi muzzled Dane Richards pace two weeks ago, now the coaching staff will most likely want the same thing this week from Aiyegbusi against Donovan.

Interesting Matchups:  
Donovan vs. Aiyegbusi. Aiyegbusi will again look to stop another speedy winger's play.
Collin vs. Angel. Two weeks ago Collin stopped one designated player from scoring (Henry) now can he do it again against Angel?
Juninho vs. Auvray. The tricky Brazilian will try and break down SKC's defense, can Auvray stop him?

Final Predictions and Thoughts:
SKC 2 - LA Galaxy 1. (Bunbury, Kamara) (Donovan)
Why do I say this? Because SKC has had two weeks off and have new found confidence.
