Prediction
FC Dallas 1, Philadelphia Union 1
Moneyline (ML)
The DRAW (+250) is the value play in this one. Philadelphia enters this game relatively unscathed as far as injuries are concerned. FC Dallas isn’t as fortunate, as they’re dealing with a bevy of injuries at midfield. While it’s a position of strength for Dallas, they’ll do well to grab a draw in this opener against the visitors in this battle of postseason teams from last year.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 2.5 (+110) is also a value play in this one, as both teams get their sea legs. Look for a slow start, perhaps even a scoreless draw in the first half, before the teams discover their offense. This game won’t be mistaken for a track meet, that’s for sure. We have had three clean sheets in the past five meetings between these two clubs.
