Match Time & Date:

08:00 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Columbus Crew
There will be fireworks when Dallas welcome Columbus Crew at their Toyota Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most entertaining games of Sunday’s program. The Toros aim to retain top position in the Western Conference and the fact that they outplayed Houston Dynamo 4-2 in their last league match is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Columbus. It is well known that Dallas have turned their Toyota Stadium into a real fortress and you should bear in mind that they suffered only one loss in previous 20 home games in the Major League Soccer. The Crew, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over New York City, but, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the Dallas clash. The two sides seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils on Sunday morning.
