Prediction
Seattle 2, FC Dallas 1
Money line (ML)
SEATTLE (-154) is the play here against FC Dallas (+400), which it did not play during the regular season due to COVID-19 restrictions and schedule changes. The Sounders are unbeaten in their past 13 at home against FC Dallas across all competitions.
The Sounders won 3-1 over LAFC in Round One of the playoffs. They have managed six wins, one draw and no losses across the past seven at home since a loss to the Portland Timbers Sept. 6.
FC Dallas stunned Portland on penalty kicks in Round One, including a game-tying goal in stoppage time to force overtime. Dallas still has just one win in regular time in the past six on the road.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 2.5 (-162) is the way to go in this battle. FC Dallas has averaged 2.44 goals per match across its past nine road outings. Meanwhile, Seattle is averaging 4.0 goals per match across the past 11 home contests. We might not see that many goals, but at least three shouldn’t be a stretch.
