USA Major League Soccer -- Vancouver Whitecaps vs FC Dallas Game Preview

 

 

Pick:1x2   FC Dallas  @2.45

 

Analysis:

The Vancouver Whitecaps take on FC Dallas on Thursday in Major League Soccer.

 

Vancouver Whitecaps

The Vancouver Whitecaps prepare for this match after a 3-3 MLS draw with the San Jose Earthquakes. Vancouver Whitecaps games have been increasingly thrilling recently, with plenty of goals expected. In their last six meetings, both teams have scored a total of 20 goals (at an average of 3.33 goals per game), with 9 of those coming from the Vancouver Whitecaps.

 

FC Dallas

FC Dallas enters this match fresh off a 1-3 MLS victory against the Los Angeles Galaxy in their previous match. In the six games leading up to this match, they have been strong in the attacking third, scoring 13 goals. This doesn't change the reality that FC Dallas has had some defensive issues, with goals scored against them in five of those matches.

 

Prediction

Despite a dramatic attacking outburst last weekend, the Caps are unlikely to find as much open space against Dallas, who are considerably more adept at closing you down.
