Expect some movement in the odds before the line settles down, but backers of the away win can take some confidence from the hosts' form of late. Real Monarchs aren't making life easy having lost 11 of their last 16 matches. A look at some of the visitors' results provides some clues for what to expect.

North Texas have won 6 of their last 8 away matches. They've only conceded 3 times during their latest 8 away games so that might also prove significant. In a game that has various opinions, there is plenty of sense in supporting the away win. Their decent results have been characterised by their confidence in front of goal.
