Chivas Usa

When: 8 p.m. Saturday Where: Jeld-Wen Field On the air: TV: KWHY, Prime Ticket Records: Chivas USA 6-8-5, Portland 5-11-4 Record vs. Portland: 3-1 Update: Coming off a 3-1 loss to the Galaxy last weekend, Chivas USA has a chance to rebound on the road against a team that it has already defeated twice this season. Three of Chivas' six wins this season have come on the road, including a win a Jeld-Wen Field on April 7. Chivas also won the most recent meeting between the two clubs at the Home Depot center on July 18. Between the two matches, Portland fired its head coach, John Spencer, and replaced him with Gavin Wilkinson on an interim basis.

When: 4 Where: Buck Shaw Stadium, San Jose. On the air: TV: Galavision. Records: Chivas USA 3-6, San Jose 7-2-1. Record vs. San Jose: 2-0 (2011) Update: Behind Chris Wondolowski's 11 goals in 10 games, San Jose entered the weekend leading the MLS in scoring (21) and tied for the league lead in wins (7). And with three goals in his last five shots on target, Wondolowski has never been hotter, leaving him on pace to shatter Roy Lassiter's 16-year-old MLS record of 27 goals in a season.

When: 4 p.m. Where: Home Depot Center. On the air: TV: Galavision, Prime Ticket. Records: Chivas USA 7-17-7, FC Dallas 9-12-10. Record vs. Real Salt Lake: 0-0-1. Update: Chivas USA, officially eliminated Wednesday from a playoff race it unofficially exited more than a month ago, can all but end FC Dallas' postseason hopes as well with a win Sunday. But Chivas would have to score to accomplish that, and the Western Conference cellar-dwellers haven't found the back of the net in their last 532 minutes, the fourth-longest scoreless streak in MLS history.

We now know the name of the next Chivas USA coach to be fired. That's because Wednesday the Major League Soccer team announced the name of the most recent one to be hired: Jose Luis Sanchez Sola, who formerly ran the youth program and the first-division Mexican League team in Puebla. "Very honored, very grateful and committed to fulfill the goals of the institution," Sanchez Sola said of his latest opportunity. "I know that with the support of the staff currently in place, my transition to MLS will be that much easier.

Chivas USA and its coach, Robin Fraser, were both slapped on the wrist -- gently -- Thursday when Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber leveled penalties for actions taken in last Saturday's game with the Philadelphia Union at the Home Depot Center. Two Philadelphia players were ejected for hard tackles in the second half and after the second foul -- charged against Gabriel Farfan in the 85th minute -- Chivas USA's Blair Gavin and Dan Kennedy rushed over to confront Farfan.

Galaxy tonight AT CHIVAS USA When: 7:30. Where: Home Depot Center. On the air: TV: ESPN 2, ESPN Deportes; Radio: 1150, 1330. Records: Galaxy 3-5-2, Chivas USA 3-6-1. Record vs. Chivas USA: First meeting. Update: They call this matchup of Home Depot Center roommates the SuperClasico, but there's likely to be nothing either super or classic about a game between two losing teams languishing near the bottom of the Western Conference standings.

CHIVAS USA TONIGHT VS COLORADO RAPIDS When: 7:30. Where: Home Depot Center. Records: Season opener for both teams. Record vs Rapids (2009 ): 1-1 Update: Former Chivas USA coach Preki, now coaching Toronto FC, on Thursday made Chivas USA's task against the Rapids a little tougher by trading U.S. national team defender Marvell Wynne, the top pick in the 2006 MLS draft, to Colorado in exchange for midfielder Nick LaBrocca. The Rapids also feature U.S. national team forward Connor Casey.

Chivas USA continued its busy off-season dealing Wednesday when it sent midfielder Ben Zemanski to the Portland Timbers in exchange for allocation money and the right of first refusal for former Chivas USA defender Jonathan Bornstein. Bornstein is currently with Tigres-UANL of the Mexican league. Zemanski, drafted by Chivas out of the University of Akron in 2010, played in 22 games last season, starting 18 of those. The 24-year-old did not score a goal and had only two assists.

Less than 24 hours after Chivas USA began its long-awaited front-office shuffle, Internet reports began speculating on the future of second-year Coach Robin Fraser. ESPN Deportes' John Sutcliffe reported the decision has already been made to let Fraser go and the website SB Nation said Wednesday that "all signs seem to be pointing" to Fraser's ouster following Sunday's regular-season finale in Dallas. According to Sutcliffe, former Chivas de Guadalajara Coach Efrain Flores will replace Fraser.
