Dallas Aim High
It’s been a delightful Major League Soccer 2022 campaign for FC Dallas thus far. They’ll return to familiar territory at the Toyota Stadium this Saturday night and welcome a struggling Vancouver Whitecaps squad.
Holding onto the second-place position in the Western Conference, Dallas are just four points shy of closing the gap on Los Angeles FC and challenging them for the top position. Having lost a mere 3 games from their initial 14 games of the season, Dallas are now setting their sights on the MLS Cup.
It’s been a long six years since Dallas finished atop of the Western Conference in consecutive seasons. During this time, they’ve found it challenging to make a significant run in the division, qualifying for the playoffs on a mere 3 occasions since.
Following a 2021 season that finished with an 11th place table position for Dallas, the script has been flipped after they failed to make the playoffs last year, and now, they’re a confident outfit with an improved campaign that could present them with silverware this term.
Struggles in the Great White North
In contrast to their weekend opponents, Vancouver hasn’t owned the most promising season thus far, as they occupy 11th in the table after enduring a troublesome 2022 campaign.
Confidence amongst the Vancouver squad has been low for some time, as the Whitecaps have had one playoff run since 2017, and the Canadian outfit will need a drastic turnaround in events to make use of the 2022 season.
The biggest problem for the Whitecaps has been their inability to prevent goals; defensive issues are as bright as day, as they’re the second-worst defense in the MLS.
It hasn’t been any more positive when finding the back of the net, as they’re the third lowest goal-scoring team in the Western Conference.
Final Thoughts | MLS Betting Odds
The betting odds favor the home side, as the only positive Vancouver can hold onto is their historic record versus the Texan side. The Whitecaps have avoided defeat to Dallas in their previous 5 meetings, but Dallas will be confident they can snap this four-year drought behind their impressive run this term.
I anticipate Vancouver’s struggles to continue. With home-field advantage and a serious chance at finishing 1st place, Dallas should have all the tools required to penetrate the leaky defence of Vancouver.
