Week 10 of Major League Soccer will take place on May 7 and 8, and it is expected to be as exciting as the previous weekends.
MLS teams are under more and more pressure to achieve favorable results with each passing matchday and this one will be no exception, so the show will be a guarantee.
We chose the four games you must watch in this Week 10 of the MLS season, where there will be a strong Latino presence.
1. Los Angeles FC vs Philadelphia Union
LAFC, the team where Mexico’s Carlos Vela plays, is having a great 2022 season and has only one loss in nine games played. They come into this match with three straight victories and as the Western Conference leaders, and they need to keep winning to keep their lead for another date.
It will be a matchup between the Eastern and Western Conference leaders, with Philadelphia Union leading the East, but with a difference in comparison to its opponent, as it has not won in its last three games. This match will be played on Saturday, May 7 at 8:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) at the Banc of California Stadium.
2. Vancouver Whitecaps vs Toronto FC
The Vancouver Whitecaps are the worst team in the Western Conference after playing eight games so far, as they have only one win so far this season. They have three consecutive defeats and will be looking to win this match against another Canadian rival to try to get out of the last position.
Toronto FC arrives in the same situation with three defeats in a row, but at least records better overall numbers with three wins in 10 games played.
This match will be played on Sunday, May 8 at 1:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) at BC Place.
3. Atlanta United vs Chicago Fire
Both Atlanta United and Chicago Fire come into this match in need of a win. The home side in this match hasn’t been able to win for four games and is not among the Eastern Conference’s top seven teams. As for the Fire, they have five games without a win, and one more loss would send them to the bottom of the table.
This match could also see the debut of Mexican Jairo Torres, the former Atlas player who recently joined the Chicago team.
This match will be played on Saturday, May 7 at 3:00 p.m. (Pacific time) at Mercedes Benz Stadium.
4. Austin vs Los Angeles Galaxy
Austin, which is on a four-game winning streak, wants to continue on this path to take the Western Conference lead from LAFC. The key to their success has been their powerful attack and they will want to keep scoring goals here.
The opponent to beat is the LA Galaxy, where Mexican Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez plays. The Los Angeles team has been left behind in the fight for the leadership of the same conference, since it lost its most recent game. A win at least would allow them to close the gap to Austin.
This match will be played on Sunday, May 8 at 4:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) at Q2 Stadium.
