Week six of the Mexican Apertura is going to feature some key games in the fight to stay in La
Primera. Some teams all of you may be familiar with are in really bad shape while others are
mid-table waiting for that spark to put them at the top. After the break, we give a short preview
of when and where you can watch the games this weekend along with a Fire/MLS connection where
applicable.

The MLS playoff race sure is heating up.
With just a handful of matches remaining, nine teams are still competing for six available

in the wild-card race between the Houston Dynamo and Portland Timbers.

Saturday's showdown between the Colorado Rapids and FC Dallas may be a rematch of last year's
MLS Cup, but neither team has looked anything like a title contender lately.
Dallas is 0-6-1 in its past seven matches in all competitions, while Colorado has gone 0-5-1 in
six games.
It's a big night for Major League Soccer teams both domestically and regionally. The Los Angeles
Galaxy and Colorado Rapids fighting for their CONCACAF Champions League lives, while FC Dallas
looks to take a giant step further toward advancing to the knockout stage.
In league play, Sporting Kansas City and Columbus meet in a crucial Eastern Conference battle,
while Real Salt Lake is expected to welcome playmaker Javier Morales back to the field at some
point during its match against the Chicago Fire.
Three points behind co-group leaders Morelia and Alajuelense in CONCACAF Champions League play,
the Galaxy face a must-win game at 7 o'clock tonight at Home Depot Center against the Mexicans
(live on Fox Soccer and Telefutura).
Realistically, if the Galaxy don't win - a tie wouldn't help them much - their international
campaign is all but over, but they may have to play Morelia without three of their key players.

While the Texas derby between FC Dallas and the Houston Dynamo is an intense affair in its own
right, the playoff implications surrounding Saturday's showdown have added a little more spice to
the rivalry.
It's a make-or-break night in the CONCACAF Champions League for Toronto FC. If TFC can't come up
with a home victory over Panamanian side Tauro FC at BMO Field, then the Reds face an extremely
difficult uphill battle in their remaining two Group C games. A win, however, would put Toronto in
a decent spot moving forward.
Sure, the Fire's game against Chivas was on Telefutura, but it didn't take my half-reading of
the Spanish subtitles to realize the obvious: Chicago was looking pretty strong. And not even in
the playing-the-last-place-team sort of way where everyone just happens to have a good game (sorry,
Chivas fans); the Fire really showed a lot of prowess over the ball, and didn't seem to show any of
the general ineptitude they usually do (you know, scoring, etc).

Playoff seeding in both conferences could see a shake-up Saturday when Real Salt Lake and
Sporting Kansas City meet at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Thanks to a win over Houston last weekend, Kansas City currently sits one point behind Columbus
for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
After a wild Tuesday night involving Los Angeles and Colorado, the other three MLS teams in the
CONCACAF Champions League group stage hope for better results as they continue their push for the
knockout round.
Columbus and Houston also square off in a crucial league game riddled with Eastern Conference
implications.
