The leaders of their respective conferences to start the week meet in a July 4 special at The Home Depot Center when the Los Angeles Galaxy entertain the New England Revolution. Twice opponents in the MLS Cup Final, this year the Revolution own the best record in the league at the halfway point, while the Galaxy have paced the Western Conference for more than a month. Both teams come off high-profile matches last weekend: the Revolution ensured Steve Nicol will guide the MLS All-Stars with a win against Toronto FC, while the Galaxy went down to defeat to D.C. United on a special Sunday afternoon at RFK Stadium. On a high-profile Sunday afternoon matchup in Washington, D.C. United got a pair of goals from Luciano Emilio and rolled to a 4-1 victory against the Los Angeles Galaxy. Losing for the first time in four games, the Galaxy are still atop the Western Conference with 21 points from 14 matches, two ahead of the tie between the Houston Dynamo and Real Salt Lake heading into the week. The Revolution got a pair of goals from Steve Ralston and hung on late, defeating Toronto FC 2-1 and ensuring Steve Nicol and his coaching staff will be charge of the MLS All-Stars at the Sierra Mist MLS All-Star Game. The Revolution maintained their lead atop the Eastern Conference and MLS overall table with 30 points from 16 matches, four points ahead of the Columbus Crew
NE Revolution have four consecutive win over LA Galaxy.
NE England have 4 consecutive win over LA Galaxy, but I think this time LA can take a point. My pick is draw.
