FC Dallas vs Colorado Odds & Betting
11:10 pm in Sport Previews by admin
Even in the slower sports month of August, sports betting is still open and full of plenty of options for all kinds of fans. You can start betting on NFL, just as some teams start training camp and others underway in the next week. Though the World Cup has come to a close, soccer betting is still available, mostly in the form of Major League Soccer, where the All-Star break approaches, and teams get ready for the second half of play.
Colorado takes on Dallas in a tough Western Conference bout as both teams look to move up in a tightly packed . The Rapids currently are in fifth in the conference with 23 points, only three points back of third place Dallas, and one point up on Seattle in sixth position. An away win for FC Dallas would move them well ahead of the group while stunting one of their closest opposition. Colorado meanwhile must earn at least one point at home to keep pace.
Though they have only scored nine goals at home in their seven matches, the Rapids have conceded only six goals and have won three matches and drawn three. Colorado has not won at home, however, in three matches, a 1-0 triumph over Columbus back on June 5th. They will host San Jose after Dallas, and play four of their next six in Commerce City.
Dallas meanwhile, has found moderate success on the road, earning 11 points in eight games, with two victories and five draws and amazingly only one loss. They have allowed the second fewest away goals in the Western Conference with eight. It took Dallas six matches to get their first win of the season this year, but they have gone on an impressive run of late. They are undefeated in seven games, their last loss coming in May to the Los Angeles Galaxy. Moreover, Dallas has only allowed three goals in the last six games, all of which were while they were on the road.
While the Dallas defense and goalkeeping have been solid, they have been getting offensive contributions from several sources. David Arturo Ferreira, Brek Shea, and Jeff Cunningham all have four goals, while Atiba Harris has added three. Colorado has been more of a two man show, with Conor Casey leading the way with seven goals, while Omar Cummings has scored five.
The two teams will meet again in October in Dallas, but if Colorado doesn’t start earning points quickly, the rematch may not matter.
Betting Lines: Colorado should get the slight edge due to being at home, but these are evenly matched. Both play strong defense and both can get goals from different sources. The Rapids are in more need of a win however, and may press more, getting Dallas a chance to strike back. Neither team will do enough to win, though, as Dallas and Colorado fight to a 1-1 draw.
