FC Dallas vs Sporting KC Prediction

FC Dallas’ underlying numbers, plus a home game against a Sporting Kansas City side shipping goals at an alarming rate this season (-34 goal difference in 22 games), point to another winning night at Toyota Stadium. Sporting have shown enough going forward through Calvin William Harris to trouble Dallas at the other end, and Petar Musa remains the difference-maker for the hosts as they push for a playoff spot from fifth in the West. We’re backing FC Dallas to win 2-1, with goals at both ends and Musa among the scorers.
