Prediction: 1-0
Chicago Fire
After recording back-to-back wins over the likes of Minnesota United and Atlanta United, Dallas suffered a 2-0 loss to Real Salt Lake in their last league fixture. The Toros obviously produce much better showings at home than on the travels and they are definitely capable of grabbing something from Sunday’s football match against Chicago Fire at their Toyota Stadium. Dallas are on a three-game winning run at home and we predict that they are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration this weekend. Veljko Paunovic’s troops are regarded as good hosts as well, but their away record is anything but good. A close encounter is on the cards, but we believe that Dallas are going to record a hard-fought win over Chicago. When the two teams met at Toyota Stadium last term Dallas defeated Chicago Fire 3-1 and there is every chance the history is going to repeat itself.
