THE PREDICTION
Dallas’ 3-1 defeat against San Jose Earthquakes last weekend makes it two matches without a win to kick off their new season. They have notched just a single goal and are yet to have 20 shots in total this season. They come up against a Portland side that scored a 97th minute equaliser in the first-leg of their CONCACAF Champions League quarter-final against Club America in midweek; that distraction could be continued as the second-leg is next midweek. A potential loss of focus and energy, as well as Dallas’ low-scoring start, would suggest that under 2.5 goals is likely.
