Dallas form was decent except for the 3 consecutive losses, their h2h
looked good, Portland only having won once in 3 years
Portland also had 1 win in 10 away games
I did everything right, stats support the prediction. I guess this is
where a bit of knowledge about the MLS and recent bad Dallas
performance would have saved you
Could have also watched the preview on mlssoccer.com and become
cautious about backing Dallas, who knows.
Game was also played on Halloween and with the disatisfaction with the
way the club is run, most Dallas fans didn't show up leading to
empty seats. Portland Timbers on the other hand have great fans who
turn up in great numbers
Chalk it up to cup game unpredictability although you could argue that
despite Cruz Azul having a bad away form, they were 2nd in Liga Mx,
4 points above Monterrey and with 1 previous head to head win in 3
years the other being draws and a loss in a club friendly(non-competitive)
that Cruz Azul stood a chance of winning this
