Vancouver are going through a rough patch right now - four defeats in their last five matches, including a 1-0 loss to Houston Dynamo last time out. Across the season as a whole, though, they remain a reasonably solid side, conceding fewer than a goal per game on average. Their attacking output has also been decent over the course of the campaign, at over two goals per game. Current form is another matter, and that should have a bearing on how this one plays out.

Dallas Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the MLS tournament (home team - Real Salt-Lake, away - Dallas). The match concluded with a scoreline of 3:4.
Here are the match stats (Dallas vs Real Salt-Lake):
- ball possession: 41% vs 59%;
- corner kicks: 3 vs 6;
- fouls: 13 vs 11;
- yellow cards: 3 vs 3;
- shots on target: 5 vs 7.
FC Dallas have been in decent form lately, winning four of their last five matches, including a 4-3 victory over Real Salt Lake. That said, the numbers behind that result are worth noting: their xG was just 1.93, meaning they scored considerably more than the quality of their chances warranted. With limited recovery time ahead of this match, it's reasonable to expect Dallas won't be able to replicate that kind of output. They were fortunate in that game, and that level of overperformance is unlikely to continue - especially against an opponent who defends well.

⭐ Editor's Pick
These two sides are in very different situations, yet both sit in the upper half of the Western Conference table. There is decent quality on either side, but Vancouver should be the dominant force here - they are the home side, and with limited recovery time in play, that will matter considerably. Dallas may see a slight dip in attacking output, and Vancouver are unlikely to suddenly find another gear going forward either. But defensively, both teams should be more solid. Our pick is a 1-1 draw. We're backing Total Goals - Under 3.5.
