FC Dallas's latest fixture against Portland Timbers ended in an away 1-1 draw. I expected more from their creative midfielders, but it just wasn't their day. FC Dallas was more dominant in the second half and scored in injury time.

SJ Earthquakes's previous game in the competition versus Austin ended in an away 3-3 draw. They learned a lesson that day. More ball possession and shots do not always give you good results. SJ Earthquakes outshone Austin early on and scored in the 8th, 20th and 88th minute.

Since the start of the season, Toros is more dominant at home. They have six wins out of 12 games on home soil. Although FC Dallas is among the most solid home teams in the league, they are far from perfect. Their defence is not as good as expected with just 25% home clean sheets.

SJ Earthquakes has picked up 5 points from the previous six league games. They still have a lot to prove when playing away from home. SJ Earthquakes wins 0.58 points per away game, a bit less than their home record shows. To improve results, they have to be more compact in defence. SJ Earthquakes kept a clean sheet in just 8% of their visits.

It is not a surprise that the hosts stand out as a favourite to win this one. Red Stripes is currently unbeaten at home in two games. Since the start of the season, they have just three home defeats.

SJ Earthquakes failed to win in two consecutive away games. It will be a big surprise to turn up on Sunday and win against Red Stripes.

I am confident that the hosts will prove their worth and triumph with another home victory. FC Dallas wins on average 1.75 points per home game, compared to 0.58 points per away game for SJ Earthquakes. My prediction is FC Dallas to win.

I expect a thrilling contest with plenty of goals. Both sides score and concede on average 3.05 goals per game. Over 2.5 goals were scored in an average of 50% of FC Dallas's home and SJ Earthquakes's away games. My prediction is Over 2.5 Goals.

Both teams struggle in defence and concede on regular occasions. FC D

达拉斯队最近与波特兰木材队的比赛以客场1-1战平结束。我对他们富有创造力的中场球员期望更高，但今天不是他们的好日子。达拉斯队在下半场更具统治力，并在伤停补时阶段取得进球。

SJ地震在之前与奥斯汀的比赛中以客场3-3战平结束。那天他们得到了教训。更多的控球和射门并不总是给你带来好的结果。SJ地震队在比赛的第8分钟、第20分钟和第88分钟都领先奥斯丁队。

自从赛季开始，托罗斯在主场更有统治力。他们在主场的12场比赛中取得了6场胜利。尽管达拉斯是联盟中最稳固的主队之一，但他们远非完美。他们的防守不像预期的那么好，只有25%的主场零封对手。

SJ地震在之前的六场联赛中获得了5分。在客场比赛时，他们还有很多东西需要证明。SJ地震每场客场赢得0.58分，比他们的主场记录要少一点。为了提高成绩，他们必须在防守上更加紧凑。SJ地震中只有8%的人没有受伤。

东道主成为本届世界杯的夺冠热门也就不足为奇了。红条纹队目前在主场两场比赛中保持不败。自赛季开始以来，他们只在主场输了三场。

SJ地震连续两场客场比赛失利。如果能在周日的比赛中战胜红条纹队，那将会是一个很大的惊喜。

我相信东道主将证明他们的价值，用另一场主场胜利来赢得胜利。达拉斯队每场主场平均赢1.75分，而SJ地震队每场客场赢0.58分。我预测达拉斯FC会赢。

我期待着一场激动人心的、有很多目标的比赛。双方场均得分和失球均为3.05个。在FC达拉斯的主场和SJ地震的客场比赛中，平均有50%的比赛进球数超过2.5个。我的预测是超过2.5个目标。

两支球队在防守上都很挣扎，经常会失球。FC D
