07/02/2010 - Frisco, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - FC Dallas will aim to continue its slow climb up the Western Conference standings when it hosts the Kansas City Wizards in Major League Soccer action on Saturday night.
After not earning its first league win of the season until its sixth match, Dallas (4-2-6) has gone 4-1-2 and positioned itself in the middle of the Western table. A 2-1 win at Chivas USA last weekend was the latest success.
"It was a very tense and hard game," FCD attacker Davis Ferreira told mlssoccer.com. "Thank God that we were able to win it. It was a very important game for us so that we can keep building momentum."
Ferreira scored the winning goal on a penalty kick last weekend, and has been a steadying force on the offense all season.
"At that moment, you have to be really calm and take your time," he said of scoring the goal, his second of the season. "I did that. I wasn't thinking about anything. I was just trying to stay calm. Thank God I was able to score that PK and come away with the winner."
The Wizards (3-6-3) are heading the other direction, with just one win in their last 10 MLS fixtures. A 3-0 loss to New York last week was the latest setback.
"I'm not happy," Kansas City forward Ryan Smith said after the loss. "It's the last thing I thought would happen especially after the way we started the game. I thought we did really well in the first half. We came in after halftime tied 0-0, and everything was even. We really thought we would go on and win. Little errors cost us. There were a few, and unfortunately, they turned into goals. Obviously we missed out on three points, and it hurts, especially at home."
The Wizards will are relatively healthy heading into the match, with only midfielder Zoltan Hercegfalvi expected to miss it because of injury. Davy Arnaud will also miss it because of a red card he received vs. New York.
The Hoops have no reported injuries for the game.

In what should be an outstanding Saturday of March Madness betting action, the top four teams in the South and West Regions square off in what should be extremely close match-ups. Three of the four teams are coming off extremely close games on Thursday evening, only UCLA won semi comfortably over Pitt 64-55.
Ohio State is coming off their second game in a row where in all reality they should have lost. Of course that doesn’t matter now since the name of the game is “survive and advance” but as the tournament continues, they can’t afford to keep getting down to their opponents early. Kansas also avoided a scare by holding off a scrappy Southern Illinois squad. In the third thrilling game of the evening Memphis pulled off the minor upset (+3.5) despite being the higher seed to Texas A&M.
Although the spreads are fairly small for Saturday’s games, MySportsbook.com continue to bet against the underdogs. Despite OSU’s two scares, 86% of the “betting public” feels the Buckeyes (-1.5) have what it takes to make the Final Four. In fact, so much of the early money is on OSU that the line has already moved from -1 to -1.5. In the second game of the doubleheader, Kansas and their high-powered offense are 2 point favorites as they take on UCLA and their effective defense. About 63% of the early money thus far is once again backing the favorites. If those percentages stay that high, don’t be surprised if this line moves as well. If you like Kansas (-2) you might want to jump on it early.
Memphis vs. Ohio State
Both squads were involved in thrillers on Thursday evening and should come out fired up. OSU can ill afford to get behind early like they did versus their previous two opponents (Xavier, Tennessee). Greg Oden needs to stay out of foul trouble; the Buckeyes are a completely different team when he is on the court. Memphis definitely has the athleticism and length to match-up with OSU. Of Memphis’ five leading minute earners, the shortest of the bunch is 6’5”. Each team has a very effective defense; Memphis surrenders 62.3 PPG whereas the Buckeyes give up only 61 PPG. With those type of numbers, it isn’t surprising that Memphis covered the UNDER almost 69% of the time this season. As a favorite, OSU has covered the UNDER almost 66% of the time over the last three seasons. The major concern for Memphis which is magnifies this time of the year is their brutal foul shooting (62%). This season, OSU is 17-11 ATS versus teams with a winning record and 7-2 ATS in all tournament games. Memphis has been an extremely reliable cover in tournament play in recent years with a 23-8 ATS record over the last three seasons.
UCLA vs. Kansas
In the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader, UCLA will play in a role which they are very unfamiliar with that of the underdog. Only twice this season have they been getting points from the handicappers and both times they covered. Over the last three seasons UCLA is a reliable 23-7 ATS in this unfamiliar role. UCLA has not fared well against Big 12 opponents recently going 1-7 ATS since 1997. Giving up only 59.6 PPG, UCLA will definitely look to do what they do best: keep this game as low scoring as possible. Their defense has been especially tough during the tournament. UCLA opponents have been able to muster up only 48.7 PPG while shooting a combined 34.5% from the field. UCLA definitely has a challenge at hand with a Kansas team that is capable of putting points on the board in bunches. As a team, they average 79 PPG and shoot an impressive 49.6% from the field and 39.4% from beyond the arc. During the tournament Kansas has been “lights out” from the field having shot 56.2%.
