Our prediction for this MLS match:
Austin FC will try to record their first win of the new MLS season when they take on FC Dallas at their Q2 Stadium on Sunday morning. Los Verdes failed to impress in a 2-0 loss at Orlando City, but it is well known that they produce much better showings at home than on the travels. Experienced Argentina forward Emiliano Rigoni is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while both Zan Kolmanic and Leo Vaisanen are sidelined with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Toros suffered a dip in form, with the team extending their losing run to three games against Dallas and given their shaky defence, we believe that the time has come for Austin FC to register their first triumph of the process. To make things even worse for the visiting team, all Logan Farrington, Paxton Pomykal, Asier Illarramendi, Alan Velasco, and Geovane Jesus are out of contention with injuries.
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.
