Both Dallas and New England are hungry for points in this one, despite the away team holding a 16 point advantage so far.

Insights:
  • Dallas have not yet lost a game at home.
  • New England have the most scored goals (7) away in Major League Soccer

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Dallas and New England.

This pitch has grass, which is not New England's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass New England have performed like this: Played 31 matches resulting in 10 wins, 8 draws and 13 defeats with the goal stats 45-58 (scored/conceded).

New England have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
