Our prediction for this MLS match:
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake, Dallas will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Columbus on Sunday morning. The Toros aim to stay in the playoffs berth, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. A man to watch in the home team will be Jesus Ferreira, who scored a brace against the Royals, while all Sebastian Lletget, Bernard Kamungo, Geovane Jesus, Alan Velasco, and Tarik Scott should miss out with injuries.
The Crew, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 4-3 loss to Orlando City, with the team beating Chicago Fire 3-0 in front of home fans. Columbus, though, are not regarded as good travellers and seeing that they suffered three defeats in the previous four away matches, home win should be considered. Midfielder William Sands should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (FC Dallas):
Despite making it to the 2010 MLS Cup final, Dallas eventually failed to win the domestic trophy. The Toros (Bulls) were beaten by Colorado in the final played at BMO Field in Toronto and you should bear in mind that the Rapids scored the winner in the extra time.
That was the first and only time Dallas participated in the MLS Cup final, but in 2016 the club won the Supporters’ Shield and the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. The Toros play their home games at Toyota Stadium, the venue that was opened in August, 2005. The stadium’s original name was Pizza Hut Park, but in September 2013 it was renamed as Toyota Stadium after Pizza Hut Park left as a main sponsor.
FC Dallas wear red shits with white stripes when playing at home, while their secondary colors are white and blue. Former Ajax and River Plate ace Mauro Rosales, who joined the Toyota Stadium outfit in 2016, is regarded as one of the club most significant stars.
