Bitesize Prediction: FC Dallas vs New York City – 7/14/22

Competition: MLS

Market: Both teams to score

Rating: 4/6 @

In an MLS showdown that could see the odds multiply rapidly in the early hours of Thursday, Dallas hosts New York at Toyota Stadium.

Starting with the hosts, last seen this weekend watching Houston snatch a final point in what was an action-packed 2-2 draw, Dallas feels like a team looking for some sort of boost. Although Nico Estévez could find himself in pole position to book a place in the Western Conference final series this season, they have now managed to win only one of their last eight national meetings, a race that dates back to a 3-1 victory. against LA Galaxy on May 14. Similarly, without a win in their last five MLS clashes, fans at Toyota Stadium have also seen their side show prolonged problems. Including a 3-1 loss at the hands of Los Angeles last month, it's worth pointing out that Dallas hasn't managed to record a single clean sheet in any format since early May.

As for the visitors, after watching former boss Ronny Deila walk out of Yankee Stadium in June, New York would have been just happy to get back to winning ways this past weekend. Managing to draw a line under their five-game winless streak as they cruised to a landslide 4-2 victory over New England last time out, caretaker manager Nick Cushing will be desperate for his temporary squad to s press this posting in the early hours of Thursday. However, it's worth noting that New York has remarkably dispatched at least a pair of strikes in each of its last five national matchups on the rebound. Likewise, with Thursday's opponents playing out an action-packed 3-3 draw when the two sides met last season, we back what could be another enjoyable affair here.

Bet: Both teams will score at FC Dallas v New York City 4/6 for Thursday's MLS match @
