LWWDWL

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Colorado Rapids in MLS action, FC Dallas and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, FC Dallas managed 59% possession and 20 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. For FC Dallas, the scorers were Logan Farrington (6') and Petar Musa (66'). Colorado Rapids got 13 shots on goal with 8 on target. Rafael Navarro (11', 76') and Darren Yapi (93') scored for Colorado Rapids.

FC Dallas have had no problems opening up opposition defences in their most recent fixtures, having scored 13 times in their last 6 matches. Having said that, FC Dallas have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 5 of those same games. We will just have to see whether or not that trend will be continued on here.

ℹ️ Team News: Vancouver Whitecaps

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Vancouver Whitecaps boss Vanni Sartini to contend with from of an almost fully healthy squad. Brian White (concussion) is out of contention.

In all likelihood, Caps will possibly make use of the 3-5-2 formation this time and select Yohei Takaoka, Mathías Laborda, Ranko Veselinovic, Tristan Blackmon, Ryan Raposo, Ralph Priso-Mbongue, Sebastian Berhalter, Alessandro Schöpf, Giuseppe Bovalina, Damir Kreilach and Levonte Johnson.

📋 Team News: FC Dallas

FC Dallas has a number of players out of action. Liam Fraser (Groin injury), Paxton Pomykal (Knee surgery) and Geovane Jesus (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection.

We believe Toros seem most likely to begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 lineup by sending out Maarten Paes, Nkosi Tafari Burgess, Sebastien Ibeagha, Marco Farfan, Tomas Pondeca, Sebastian Lletget, Asier Illarramendi, Paul Arriola, Jesús Ferreira, Tsiki Ntsabeleng and Petar Musa.

🔮 Prediction

We believe that FC Dallas certainly have the ability to break down this Vancouver Whitecaps team, however that probably shouldn’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

Our tip is for both teams to score in a 2-1 advantage for Vancouver Whitecaps after 90 minutes. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
