Competition: USA Major League Soccer
Competition: Sun 15.Oct
Match begins: 00:30 (UTC)
Venue: Toyota Stadium (20500 seats)

The home fans await a win and three points in this game, and the home advantage should be put to good use versus a stumbling visitor. Dallas are in 9th spot while the guesting Colorado Rapids sweat at 14th.

Insights:
  • Dallas have the most points from losing position (18) in Major League Soccer
  • Colorado Rapids have the fewest scored goals (25) in Major League Soccer

These teams have little in common geographically as Colorado Rapids have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Dallas form and stats

Dallas have played 16 Major League Soccer games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-6-3 (wins-draws-losses). Dallas has four consecutive draws when playing at home, an interesting stat.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Dallas, who played 1-1 against SJ Earthquakes. That match was also played at this venue (Toyota Stadium). Ferreira, a forward, was the highest rated performer for the team in that game, receiving a rating of 8.6 (out of 10). Ferreira served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 52 successful passes (of 61 total).

Preceding that game was the away draw at Houston Dynamo that finished 0-0.

Betting people might want to know that 9 of the latest 11 league matches from these players have had at least one goal from each team.

The Dallas fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 16 matches. From these home matches, Dallas have conceded only 15 goals.

Colorado Rapids form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Colorado Rapids so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-11 (win-draw-lose). A depressing nine defeats in a row for Colorado Rapids in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus LA Galaxy.

There might be some fixture complaints from Colorado Rapids as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-5 against Houston Dynamo. Colorado lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one. Bassett got a match rating of 7.45 in that game, top player of the team. Bassett scored one goal, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 34 successful passes (of 41 total).

Before that, Colorado Rapids secured a home win against Austin with the score 1-0.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Colorado Rapids have conceded 37 goals in these games.
