We say: Dallas 2-0 Minnesota United

All season long, Dallas' defence has been among the most impenetrable, and going up against a Minnesota team who have scored the fewest goals among the Western Conference playoff sides, we expect the Toros backline will remain firm. An upset is certainly possible, but we believe that all 11 Loons players will need to play at an elite level for that to happen, and there are too many inconsistencies with this group to suggest they can beat a side who have been so well-organised and compact all season.
