Wizards want more magic against Rapids

Soccer Betting Lines

07/16/2010 - Commerce City, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kansas City Wizards forward Teal Bunbury called Wednesday's 1-0 victory at the Columbus Crew "huge," and hopes the team can build on the result Saturday night at the Colorado Rapids.

K.C. (4-8-3) won for the first time on the road this season Wednesday, and the result came against the Eastern Conference leaders. Although the Wizards still sit well off the pace in the standings, another victory could start a surge up the table in the second half of the season.

Bunbury scored his first goal of the season in the victory at Crew Stadium and goalie Jimmy Nielsen posted his sixth shutout of the season.

"I think it's a credit to everybody on the field, with all the work we've put in and getting the victory here is huge," Bunbury said.

"It means a lot. I kept hearing how hostile and tough it was to come here and get a win, especially with this drought we've been having."

"It was a great one-nil win away from home, and it's so important for us, and hopefully we can build on this victory and give ourselves some confidence," Nielsen said.

K.C. lost five of its first six road games, and tied the other, and faces yet another tough road test at Dick's Sporting Goods Park against the Rapids.

Colorado (6-4-4) had its six-match unbeaten streak snapped against Toronto FC last weekend, 1-0. However, the last three of those matches were draws, which means the Rapids are now winless in four straight.

Colorado lost 1-0 to the Wizards at CommunityAmerica Ballpark on April 10, but has played well overall and is tied for third in the Western Conference.

Rapids coach Gary Smith knows K.C. has struggled and, despite the Wizards' win at Columbus, feels his team has a chance to end the first half of its schedule with a victory.

"Kansas City have been down on their luck a bit and it's an opportunity for us to get back in that winning vein," Smith said.
