Dallas vs Montreal Impact Prediction
Dallas started the season on a winning note and will fancy their chances of winning a second league game.
The Burn have a positive record in this fixture and have not lost to Montreal since May 2015. They finished seventh in the Western Conference regular season last term before being knocked out by Seattle Sounders in the playoff.
Saturday's visitors drew their opening game last weekend. The Canadian side will hope that they can improve on the form they showed towards the end of last season, which saw them just miss out on the Eastern Conference.
