FC Dallas vs Seattle Sounders FC Lineups, Prediction, Betting Picks & Odds

FC Dallas vs Seattle Sounders FC Game Preview

Toyota Stadium in Frisco hosts a Western Conference matchup with real weight on Wednesday night, as a playoff-chasing FC Dallas side meets a Seattle Sounders FC team that keeps stacking wins.

FC Dallas sit third in the Western Conference with 47 points. The attack does the heavy lifting, and creating and finishing scoring looks are the calling cards of this group.

Seattle Sounders FC are seventh in the West on 41 points, but the standings undersell them. This is a side that controls games in the opposition's half and rarely gives leads away.

The head-to-head is the sore spot for Dallas. Seattle have won their last 4 games against FC Dallas in all competitions, so the hosts have a hex to break as well as points to chase.

FC Dallas vs Seattle Sounders FC Recent Results

FC Dallas arrive with a sting. Their unbeaten run ended in a loss to Charlotte FC, decided by a late Idan Toklomati goal, after they had taken 13 points from a possible 15. Petar Musa is still the man up top with 19 MLS goals this season, and Logan Farrington gives Eric Quill a second scoring threat.

Seattle Sounders FC have won their last 4 games in Major League Soccer and look sharp doing it. The latest was a complete 3-0 win at the New England Revolution, where they pulled away late. Brian Schmetzer's side travel to Texas with Dejan Joveljic leading the line and Albert Rusnák pulling the strings behind him.

FC Dallas vs Seattle Sounders FC Lineups & Team News

Injuries & Suspensions

FC Dallas: Kaka Scabin (Injured/out)

Seattle Sounders FC: Jordan Morris (Injured/out), Paul Rothrock (Injured/out), P. de la Vega (Injured/out), N. Petkovic (Injured/out), J. Ferreira (Injured/out), Alex Roldan (Injured/doubtful)

FC Dallas

The home side's lineup picture looks a lot healthier than their visitors' heading into this one. Kaka Scabin is the only confirmed absentee, and Eric Quill could make a couple of attacking changes by recalling Santiago Moreno and Petar Musa.

Seattle Sounders FC

Seattle took real damage at New England. Jordan Morris and Alex Roldan both picked up injuries there, so expect Kalani Kossa-Rienzi to step into the back line alongside Stuart Hawkins. Further forward, Paul Arriola is the obvious candidate to replace Morris.

FC Dallas vs Seattle Sounders FC Prediction & Best Picks

Our Prediction

This one shapes up as a home win. Seattle's run is real, but they arrive without Jordan Morris and with a reshuffled back line, and that is exactly the kind of defense a Dallas attack built around Petar Musa can hurt. Our projections give Dallas a 50.8% win probability, and +105 (Unibet) on the moneyline is a fair way to back the hosts. Expect goals at both ends, but Dallas have more ways to finish the job.

Best Picks

Bernard Kamungo to have over 2.5 shots in the Player Shots market. He is an attacking threat for a home side the model makes favorites. This is a Player Shots market pick, and it leans straight into how Dallas play: they take a lot of shots and love to attack through the middle. The implied probability on this line is well below where the model sets it, which is exactly where the value sits.

Herman Johansson to have over 1.5 shots on target in the Player Shots On Target market. He is an advanced wing-back in a Dallas side expected to create plenty of scoring opportunities at home. This selection sits in a different market at a longer price, so treat it as the secondary pick. Our projections call for 3.22 total goals, and Johansson's high starting spot on the right of the probable Dallas midfield puts him in range to test the goalkeeper.
