FC Dallas will look to snap their seven-match winless run when they host Houston Dynamo in MLS on Saturday.
Dallas failed to stop the rot in the new MLS campaign, as they fell to a 2-1 defeat to Colorado Rapids last weekend. Nico Estevez’s side have gone seven games without a win sice a 2-1 victory over San Jose Earthquakes in the season opener in February.
With just five points from their opening eight games, Dallas occupy the penultimate position in the Western Conference, three points above last-placed San Jose Earthquakes.
Houston, meanwhile, suffered their first home defeat of the season last time out, losing 1-0 by Austin FC at the Shell Energy Stadium.
Before that, Ben Olsen’s men picked up two wins from their opening two games at home, claiming a 1-0 victory over Portland Timbers on March 17, two weeks before a 2-1 win over San Jose Earthquakes.
Houston have picked up 13 points from their opening eight games to sit 10th in the West, level on points with Toronto FC and Philadelphia Union.
