Both clubs enter today's match riding scorching form, having captured consecutive victories. Chivas USA have the added benefit of securing four in a row. For head coach Wilmer Cabrera, it's all about believing. "They believe in what they've been doing and they're performing better every game," he said (via MLS's official website). "That's important for them. If any moment we lose because this league is very, very even and complicated, with that organization, that composure, that concentration, and the way they've been working, we're going to be OK."
"Right now, we're in a good mode, a good situation," he added. "We feel good because we feel strong and we're going to continue and see what happens next game against D.C. United."
