New York City and Dallas are both doing (very) nicely in the Major League Soccer with their 5th and 4th spots respectively. This could be a super match!
- New York City have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (1) in Major League Soccer
- New York City have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Dallas have scored away.
These teams have little in common geographically as Dallas have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
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.
