FC Dallas host the Vancouver Whitecaps at Toyota Stadium on Wednesday, May 13, kicking off at 8:30 PM ET.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is a top-half showdown between the Burn, seventh in the West with 19 points, and the Whitecaps, who are second in the Western Conference on 26 points. Browse the MLS hub<\/a> for full standings and previews.<\/p>\n

Vancouver arrive on an unbeaten run in their last six MLS matches \u2014 four wins and two draws \u2014 and are the form team in the West. FC Dallas have also found some rhythm lately with back-to-back wins, including a 3-1 victory over Real Salt Lake on May 9. A win here for Dallas would close the gap to the Whitecaps significantly; a Vancouver victory would extend their advantage near the top of the West.<\/p>\n

Thomas Muller is out for Vancouver, which is a significant blow given the German’s creative contribution, but the ‘Caps have depth across the attack. This has all the ingredients of a competitive, high-quality Western Conference clash. See the MLS standings<\/a> for context.<\/p>\n\n\n

Match Result: Draw<\/td>\n+250 @ bet365<\/a><\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBoth sides are in form; Dallas have won their last two, Vancouver are unbeaten in six. A competitive share of the points makes sense.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Petar Musa<\/strong> to score anytime<\/td>\n+120 @ bet365<\/a><\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nPetar Musa is among the leaders in MLS with 10 goals in 12 outings; he is in outstanding form and will be Dallas’ key weapon against VWFC.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score \u2014 Yes<\/td>\n-200 @ bet365<\/a><\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nDallas have scored in their last three but have just one clean sheet in that run, while VWFC have scored in their last six but are without a clean sheet in three; this has goals in it from both ends.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/td>\n-175 @ bet365<\/a><\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nDallas average 1.92 goals per game; Vancouver average 2.45 scored. The combined attack rate points firmly to a high-scoring contest.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Correct Score: 2-2<\/td>\n+1000 @ bet365<\/a><\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nA high-scoring draw with Musa netting for Dallas and Vancouver responding through White or Berhalter is a strong scenario.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n

Our approach: Musa anytime goalscorer as the headline pick; add BTTS Yes for parlay value.<\/p>\n
