Dallas Jackals vs Chicago Hounds Prediction: The two sides are struggling

The Major League Rugby match between the Dallas Jackals and the Chicago Hounds that will take place during round 18 will take place at Globe Life Park. Both teams have been in poor shape leading up to this match, with Chicago Hounds prevailing over Utah Warriors despite being the underdogs.

The Dallas Jackals were unable to put on a good show the previous weekend, and after turning up another lackluster showing against NOLA Gold, the home team has now lost two games in a row, the first of which was against New York. When looking at their most recent matches, though, we can see that the Dallas Jackals have only won one of them. This victory came against Rugby ATL in a match that ended 19-27. Despite this, the home team has now lost seven of their previous eight matches, making them the worst team in the league. Alejandro Torres was responsible for the first goal that the Dallas Jackals scored in their most recent encounter, which was a penalty kick and took place in the 17th minute of play against the NOLA Gold. Despite this, they gave up a penalty goal and a conversion goal, both of which were scored by Damian Stevens, in the last few minutes of the first half due to their poor performance. Despite this, NOLA Gold were able to beat Dallas Jackals 15-3 in the first half, with tries scored by Alex Matthews and Marika Koroibete. Tomás Baravalle scored a try for the home team, and Alejandro Torres made a conversion to bring their total to 7 points. However, despite the fact that the home club is the favorite in this matchup, we anticipate a much stronger showing from them, one that finally puts a stop to their string of poor play and brings them a victory.

The victory over Utah Warriors the weekend before last put an end to a losing streak for the Chicago Hounds that had lasted ten matches. The first half was played to a tie with a score of 14-14, and the second half ended with a win for the Chicago Hounds by a score of 10-12. Both Julián Domnguez and Luke Carty scored two tries and two conversion goals in the first half of the game, respectively. Despite this, the Utah Warriors were able to secure all 14 of their points in that half thanks to the tries of Thomas Tu'avao and Josh Hodgson. In spite of this, a penalty kick and two conversion goals scored by Josh Hodgson in the second half were not sufficient to prevent Chicago Hounds from securing a victory. In spite of this, the Chicago Hounds now hold the position of last place in the Western Conference in the Major League Rugby standings with a total of 16 points after participating in 15 matches.

The first time that these two teams have competed against one another, the Chicago Hounds came out on top to claim victory on their home turf with a final score of 24-22. These two teams are tied for last place in the standings coming into this encounter, with only one point separating them: the Dallas Jackals have 17, while the Chicago Hounds have 16.

As was the case in the first leg of this battle, it is anticipated that this encounter will also be a close one. On the other hand, given that the Dallas Jackals will be competing in this match at their own venue, I anticipate that they will emerge victorious. In the meantime, I anticipate a different attacking connection here, which is why I'm going to bet on the over.
