We said: Seattle Sounders 1-1 Dallas
While Seattle Sounders will be looking to return to winning ways, they face a resurgent Dallas side who are on a run of two consecutive victories. However, the Burn have struggled at the Lumen Field, managing just one win from their last 17 visitors. We predict that both sides will cancel out each other's efforts and settle for a share of the spoils in this one. Read more.Data Analysis
