It's only the second game in the Major League Soccer for these participants. and there's points to play for here at Gillette Stadium as New England host Dallas. Get smart with this preview!

It should be mentioned that Dallas play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Dallas on artifical turf are 1 victory, 1 draw and 6 defeats from eight games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 7-12. You can compare this with overall results below.

These teams have little in common geographically as Dallas have to travel 1800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

This could be an engrossing fixture with lots of action and bustle as both sides are well rested since they last played a game. Bring it on!
