Austin FC vs FC Dallas Prediction

We’re backing FC Dallas to win 1-2 at Q2 Stadium: Musa gets on the scoresheet again, Austin reply through Uzuni or Ramirez, but Dallas’s standing sixth in the West on 27 points, well clear of Austin’s 14th-place, 17-point return, points to the visitors’ edge holding up. Correct score: 1-2 to FC Dallas.
