Prediction
Seattle Sounders 1, FC Dallas 1
Moneyline (ML)
SPRINKLE DRAW (+260).
There’s really no different way to play this. Both games during the regular season ended 1-1, and Dallas has drawn 5 of its last 6 games. It is 2-2-0 over its last 4 road matches as well.
Dallas will be healthy as well with F Paul Arriola and Ferreira both expected to log heavy minutes. It has a dynamic side when healthy, finishing 3rd in the West last season. The Sounders have drawn 4 of their last 7 games.
Both teams have been draw-heavy sides lately. Take DRAW (+260).
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (-140).
Both games this season between these 2 sides have gone Under 2.5 goals.
However, the real point to be made is that Seattle had 1.4 and 0.7 expected goals while Dallas had 0.3 and 0.6. Neither team dominated offensively.
Seattle has gone Under in 4 of its last 6 games as well. Dallas has gone Under in 4 of its last 5. Take UNDER 2.5 (-140).
