Update: The teams have played each other 10 times in various competitions and neither has ever lost at home. Chivas USA comes in off a disappointing 2-2 tie at home against D.C. United in which it squandered a two-goal lead. On the plus side, forward Maykel Galindo made his first start in a year and scored his first goal in 14 months. Kansas City has a hot striker of its own in former U.S. international Josh Wolf, who has scored four goals in his last three games and is the co-leading scorer in MLS with the Chicago Fire’s Brian McBride with six goals. The Wizards last weekend became the first team to win a league game at Real Salt Lake’s Rio Tinto Stadium, winning, 2-0. Chivas USA leads the Western Conference.
