Dallas face Sporting Kansas City at Toyota Stadium.

Let’s recall Dallas finished last season on 1^st spot on the West and 2^nd overall. It seems they do not lack motivation as they are set to repeat last-year achievement in the regular season. In their last 5 games, Dallas managed to beat San Jose Earthquakes (1:0), Chicago Fire (3:1) and Vancouver Whitecaps (2:0), tied Colorado (1:1) and lost to Seattle (0:5). This way the hosts are currently 1^st on the West with 44 points earned leaving 3 points behind their nearest competitor.

Kansas City in turn took 6^th spot in the Eastern Conference and 10^th overall last season. They perform in the Western Conference now. Kansas City tend to show arguably consistent performance currently. The visitors have the following form at the moment: defeats to Chicago Fire (0:1), Colorado Rapids (0:1) and Portland Timbers (0:3), wins over Seattle (3:0) and Portland (1:0). On top of that, Kansas are 5^th in the league table with 34 points earned after 25 games.

Remarkably, Kansas City have advantage over Dallas in head-to-head record. The visitors managed to beat Dallas in their last game on 20 June (2:0). However, the hosts are on more than 20-game unbeaten streak at home. And this way Sporting Kansas Citi are more likely to lose.
