Hope for Dynamo vs the Goats

Dynamo have struggled of late, particularly on offense. Chivas, meanwhile, have been able to put the ball in the net. The mid-week Open Cup victory over FCD should give Dynamo a little confidence, and so should Ives Galarcep's prediction:

The Dynamo are coming off a midweek Open Cup match and have to travel to California to face a rested Chivas USA team that is desperate not to fall out of playoff position. The Goats are unbeaten in six matches, but five of those have been ties. They need three points to hold off Real Salt Lake, and they'll find a way to get them courtesy of Ante Razov.
Chivas USA 2, Dynamo 0


Ives has a 39-53 success rate in his prognostications, so he's not particularly prescient. Good news for Dynamo.

And Dynamo could use the 3 points. We're only 3 points ahead of Colorado and 4 points ahead of Chivas. Being just 6 points from dropping out of contention for the MLS Cup, we need to create a little differentiation here...which we should -- Ching or no Ching -- based on our talent.
