Chivas can clinch playoff spot with win in Colorado and help

Soccer Betting Lines

09/15/2007 - Commerce City, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - "Chivas is a very good team with a great atmosphere and my goal is to get all the way to playoffs and we're proving right now that we're the best team in Major League Soccer," CD Chivas USA reserve forward Laurent Merlin told MLSnet.com after the team's Super Clasico win over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Thursday.

D.C. United might have something to say about that comment, but few can argue that the Goats belong in that class right now.

"It's massive for the club, massive for the fans. We've been taking a beating from those guys for a couple of years and eventually it was going to turn," Chivas forward Ante Razov said after the win against the Galaxy. "It can't go on forever. We showed that right now we're the better team in Los Angeles. We're happy with that and we're proud of that."

Chivas can clinch a playoff spot while also severely damaging the Colorado Rapids chances of making it with a league win at Dick's Sporting Goods Park Sunday afternoon.

A loss would be the Rapids second-straight, after losing to the Galaxy 3-1 in Los Angeles last weekend. With the defeat, the Rapids dropped into a ninth- place tie with Columbus in the eight team playoff bracket, meaning the team has some points to make up.

"They created four or five chances and finished three. We created five, six chances and got one," Colorado coach Fernando Clavijo said of the L.A. loss.

One thing going for it is Colorado gets surging Chivas at home. The Goats are an MLS best 9-0-2 at home, but just 4-6-4 on the road although they are 3-1 in their last four.

After Sunday's league fixture, Chivas hosts Kansas City next Saturday while the Rapids travel to Real Salt Lake the same day.
