Dallas form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dallas so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-10 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Dallas have lost on their last two travels.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Major League Soccer home defeat versus Los Angeles FC with 2-3 on the scoreboard. Midfielder Jader Obrian was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.25. Obrian hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Minnesota United.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Real Salt Lake in just four days.

Dallas are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 19 away goals from 15 games (in the league). The Dallas manager M. Ferruzzi has some worries about the defense as 32 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This was the score when the sides played each other earlier this season; Dallas - Galaxy 4-0. LA Galaxy-Dallas H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: LA Galaxy two wins, Dallas seven wins, one draw. six of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
