Which zeroes, if any, look likely to fall this weekend? One or two, though we’re more excited for the consecutive hours with at least one match on the docket. Between MLS and the Premier League, it’s almost nonstop.
Philadelphia Union vs. New York City FC
7 p.m. ET Friday
Philly began the season with a pair of draws but has since lost all three of their matches ahead of Friday’s visit from NYCFC.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs. Seattle Sounders
10 p.m. ET Friday

The Quakes haven’t won in three tries and look to break that streak against a Dallas team which has yet to lose in league play.
Montreal Impact vs. Atlanta United
1 p.m. ET Saturday
Quebec’s MLS side gets just its second home match of the season but a visit from the league’s second-most productive attack. Miguel Almiron has been a lot of fun for expansion Atlanta, completing almost 86 percent of his passes despite being a fairly adventurous player.

The Galaxy scoots across the country to face an Orlando team which has won three of four to start the season.

Columbus Crew vs. Toronto FC
8 p.m. ET Saturday
The Trillium Cup sees a TFC side that has yet to lose but has four draws in five outings, while Columbus just saw a three-match win streak halted at Chicago. There will be no Drew Moor for the Reds, as the defender was diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia.
Houston Dynamo vs. Minnesota United
8:30 p.m. ET Saturday
Minnesota has yet to allow less than two goals in an MLS match, and gets a Houston team with plenty of firepower. The Dynamo will be itching to make amends for their first “0” of the season.
Colorado Rapids vs. Real Salt Lake
9 p.m. ET Saturday
Last year’s stingiest side has shown problems at the back in consecutive games. Colorado will now get a test from Mike Petke’s dangerous RSL attack.

10:30 p.m. ET Saturday
The Timbers are back in the win column after a pair of tough outings. KC is unbeaten, deep, and looking like the club we thought we’d see last season.
