Our prediction for this MLS match:
Dallas play host to Austin at their Toyota Stadium in a game between the two rock-bottom sides. The Toros are having a season to forget, with the team recording only six wins in total in the process. Dallas are low on spirits ahead of the penultimate game of the regular season; therefore we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Ghana international Twumasi returns from suspension, while both Nelson and Quignon are out of contention with injuries.
Austin, on the other hand, aim to escape the rock-bottom position, and seeing that both sides will be with guards down in Sunday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. All Besler, Hoesen, Schoenfeld, Segura, and Sweat are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
