Let's look at this appealing game in the Major League Soccer. Dallas is in the 8th place after participating in three matches. They greet Portland Timbers who are placed 6th after three matches.
This ground has the surface grass, unlike Portland Timbers's home stadium. The former 26 games by the visitors on grass have produced 9 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses.
Portland Timbers have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
