Prediction: 1-1
Minnesota United
Dallas will look to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Colorado Rapids when they take on Minnesota United at Toyota Stadium. The Toros are stuck at the bottom of the standings, with the team failing to win the previous four league fixtures. Since Dallas are eager to give fans something to cheer about, we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s clash.
Argentine attacker Franco Jara is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts. The Loons, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Vancouver and Dallas, while sharing the spoils with Real Salt Lake. Considering that the visitors will go for a win in Sunday’s game as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score this time out.
