Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Dallas - Orlando City!
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Dallas form and stats
14 points is a decent return from 7 Major League Soccer games here for Dallas. The data says 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. It’s been three wins in a row for Dallas here, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.
It's back home for Dallas, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Sporting KC away with the result 3-2. Ryan Hollingshead and Franco Jara (2) found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, Dallas won a home game hosting Colorado Rapids (4-1).
The victory against Sporting KC came after Ryan Hollingshead's winning goal. The Dallas manager L. Gonzalez was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 65th minute.
This is expected to be a close game, with Dallas perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Dallas as a small favourite), we find four games. Dallas has won four of these, drawn zero and lost zero.
Dallas have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 13 goals in 7 league matches. From these home matches, Dallas have conceded only 6 goals.
