Chivas hopes to bounce back at home vs. RSLSoccer Betting Lines05/21/2010 - Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Real Salt Lake travels to California to take on Chivas USA in a Major League Soccer Western Conference clash on Saturday night. RSL (4-3-1) is currently on a three-game winning streak after topping the Houston Dynamo 3-1 in its last league fixture, ending an eight-game winless streak against the club. "This one was special for us," RSL coach Jason Kreis said after the win. "The guys showed that it meant a lot to them. The way they started the match, the way they played for the majority of it. I think you could see the emotions in their faces in the locker room. You know how happy they were to finally beat what has been a little bit of a nemesis the last eight games now." Alvaro Saborio scored two goals in the game to lead RSL to victory. "He's sort of the prototypical goal scorer," Kreis said of the forward. "He finds himself in some great positions in front of the goal. We've seen now in the past several weeks that he's had a lot of excellent opportunities and he should probably have a couple more goals. We will look for continued form from him." Chivas USA (3-5-1) will be aiming to snap a two-game losing streak when it hosts the defending champs on Saturday. The Goats suffered a 1-0 loss at Columbus in their last league fixture as the game's lone goal was scored on a penalty kick. "We're very disappointed," Chivas USA coach Martin Vasquez told mlssoccer.com. "We played well against a very good team and we go home empty-handed." "First of all, the foul that the referee gave leading to the free kick, there was poor defending, or lazy defending," Vasquez said. "I have my doubts about the previous foul that led to that [penalty] and that's the empty feeling you're left with after the game." Now the Goats will have to find a way to get a win at home without midfielder Sacha Kljestan and defender Jonathan Bornstein, who are training with the U.S. national team in hopes of making the final World Cup roster. "I think the way we played [vs. Columbus], we played our brand of football that Martin has been trying to get us to play, so we feel good about that," Kljestan told mlssoccer.com. "But we've got to get a result [vs. RSL]. Obviously, Jonny and I won't be there, and some other guys need to step up. So, I'm looking forward to watching the game."
