Why Bet on FC Dallas?
It’s been a rough season for FC Dallas. With 21 points from five wins, six draws, and eight losses, they sit 11th in the Western Conference, five points away from the play-in zone, though they have one game in hand.
They’ve lost their last two matches, both at home. First, a 2-4 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes, and then a 2-3 loss to San Diego FC, conceding the decisive goal to Tomás Ángel in the 90+6 minute.
Their 35 goals conceded are the third-worst in the conference and sixth-worst in the league, so defense is a concern. They also hold the worst home record in the entire MLS, with just five points out of a possible 27. Their only home win came on March 29.
Luciano Acosta, who arrived as a marquee signing after his excellent run with FC Cincinnati, remains in strong form but hasn’t been as decisive as expected—he needs more support. That’s come in the form of Croatian striker Petar Musa, who leads the team with seven goals and three assists and is currently on a three-game scoring streak.
Coach Eric Quill is dealing with several absences. Kaick and Sebastien Ibeagha are suspended, while Osaze Urhoghide, Paxton Pomykal, Ramiro, and Anderson Julio are doubtful due to injury.
Why Bet on Minnesota United?
Things are looking much better for Minnesota United. With 34 points, they sit third in the Western Conference after nine wins, seven draws, and four losses, scoring 33 goals and conceding 23.
They’re coming off a 2-2 away draw versus the New York Red Bulls, after conceding a goal from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting in the 90th minute. They are now three games unbeaten on the road, though only one of those was a win. Overall, they’ve performed well away from home, with four wins, four draws, and two losses.
But that’s not all—Minnesota has only lost once in their last 10 away games, including a U.S. Open Cup match against Louisville City. That sole defeat came against the Houston Dynamo on May 14.
Among the good news is the return of top scorer and star Tani Oluwaseyi, as well as goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair, whoare back from Gold Cup duty after a surprise loss. Also returning is Panamanian midfielder Carlos Harvey, while Joseph Rosales remains away with Honduras.
