Houston SaberCats vs Dallas Jackals Prediction: SaberCats will not have an easy game here

SaberCats Stadium will host the quarterfinal Major League Rugby encounter between Houston SaberCats and Dallas Jackals. The last encounter between these sides ended in a win for SaberCats. I will analyze the two teams' performances and provide betting opportunities.

Houston SaberCats had a decent performance in the regular season and will look to keep that form intact. In their 16 matches, this team secured 67 points, the most in the Western Conference, taking them top of the standings. Ahead of this game, Houston SaberCats have a win of 9 out of their last ten matches, their lone defeat coming against San Diego Legion. 

The Dallas Jackals did not have the best performances they would have hoped for at the end of the regular season, but they got things right to make it to the postseason. In 16 matches, this team secured 42 points, leaving them seated in the 4th spot of the Western Conference. In their last matches into this quarterfinal game, Dallas Jackals lost four of their five, their lone victory being a 22-20 win over the Chicago Hounds. In other games, the Dallas Jackals lost to the New England Free Jacks, Old Glory DC, Utah Warriors, and Houston SaberCats. 

The Houston SaberCats have a good chance of winning this game, and I do not have a problem with that. However, the Dallas Jackals have been a tough opponent in this fixture, and I do not see them backing out. Expect this game to be competitive, looking at the importance of this fixture. Despite their poor run into this game, I am backing the Dallas Jackals to get within the margin in this fixture.
