MLS Matchday 26 Schedule & Betting Guide: El Tráfico highlights Saturday’s schedule

We’re already into MLS Matchday 26 after an eventful Matchday 25 this past Wednesday. Both the Philadelphia Union and San Diego FC held onto the top spots in their respective conferences earlier in the week.

Matchday 26 only includes Saturday, but a pair of popular rivalries, most notably El Tráfico, are on the schedule. Saturday’s slate is also a perfect warmup for next Wednesday’s MLS All-Star game.
