Correct score prediction: FC Dallas 0-2 San Diego
Eric Quill’s Dallas have been victims of inconsistency this campaign – winning five, drawing six and losing seven of their 18 games so far. San Jose Earthquakes inflicted their latest defeat last matchday, with Dallas ultimately succumbing to a 4-2 loss at and seeing their three-game unbeaten run come to an end.
San Diego’s arrival in Frisco is an ominous sign, with the visitors arguably the most in-form team in the Western Conference. Mikey Varas’ men have 12 points from their last five games, while Dallas have won five points in as many games. Expect San Diego to comfortably outfox the hosts thanks to their impressive goalscoring rate.

Player to Watch: Anders Dreyer
Dreyer is arguably one of the most lethal and effective forwards in the league. The Dane has been vital in San Diego’s rise to the top, winning MOTM awards in both of his club’s two recent victories wherein he registered two goals and four assists combined.
With eight goals and 11 assists to his name this campaign, the 27-year-old could very well add to his tally when they travel to Dallas.
