Vancouver Whitecaps vs FC Dallas Predictions

Neither of these sides have been playing at their very best of late, especially Dallas who have lost three of their last four matches and haven’t won in the month of May. Vancouver Whitecaps have only lost one of their last six matches, but are in the midst of a three game winless streak that they will be hoping to put to an end on Sunday.

Vancouver Whitecaps opened the scoring away at New York RB in midweek via a twenty-ninth minute effort from Sutter, but the teams went in level at the break after White equalised for the hosts. An own goal from Rose saw Vancouver Whitecaps fall behind, but the visitors responded well and made it 2-2 shortly after the hour mark when Montero converted a penalty and ensured both teams shared the points. Dallas took the lead at home to in form LAFC through Hollingshead and lead at the break following a missed penalty from Vela on the stroke of halftime. Dallas lost defender Hedges to a straight red card early in the second half, but looked like they might hold onto their lead, until the visitors were awarded another penalty ten minutes from time which Vela this time converted.

The recent head to head record between these two teams and their performances in the MLS over the last month or so, point towards both teams scoring on Sunday and the game ending in a draw. Both teams have scored in three of the last four meetings between the two clubs, and two of the last four encounters between the pair have ended in draws. Vancouver Whitecaps have drawn three of their last six matches, while Dallas have drawn two of their last five matches. Both teams have scored in four of Vancouver Whitecap’s and four of Dallas’ last six matches, which is why we’re backing a 1-1 draw between the pair this weekend.

Montero top scores for the hosts this season with three league goals, while Ferreira has netted four times in the MLS so far for Dallas. We’re confident that both teams will score on Sunday, and have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. The hosts have drawn the majority of the games of late and Dallas haven’t won in their last five matches, while both teams have been scoring and conceding on a regular basis, which is why we see this game ending 1-1.
